Guess the automaker that came up with this concept, no cheating and trying to look it up. If you know the answer keep it to yourself for a bit

 

Ike,

I'll keep it to myself ...

 

Subaru ? - John

 

Nope, I love Subaru and all but hell would freeze over if they ever built a car that beautiful :p

 

Kia ?

 

Volkswagon? Whoever came up with that puppy, my hat is off to em. Hope it gets built. Is that a 16 cylinder or something ridiculous., which leads me to my second guess of Cadillac.
Sorry for two guesses, but I couldn't help it.

 

Not a 16 Cylinder, nor a Caddie or VW.

 

Does it start with an A or a B?

 

Nope :p

 

This car took less than a year to design from top to bottom and is not just a concept but a road going prototype.

 

I know it! Shall I provide the answer??

 

Okay... so i've ruled out Audi, Aston-Martin, and Bugatti.

C'mon Ike... gimme a hint!

 

Here's a bit of a hint, it has a V12.

 

Nah, a few people already know, lets see if anyone can guess it

 

Hummer?

 

Another hint before bed, the prototype has a 7 speed auto tranny.

 

Chrysler Me-12 (or something like that)

 

I'm suprised you guys don't know this. Do you guys keep up with auto shows?

 

Well, that wasn't really a guess now was it...

Oh well, yes, it's a Chrysler ME-four-twelve, which stands for it's AMG developed Quad-Turbo 12 cylinder. This 850bhp/850lb-ft, 2880 lbs, mid engine, RWD monster is projected to go 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds, 0-100 mph in 6.2 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.6 seconds at 142.0 mph, with a top speed of 248 mph.

 

stop, please, you're making me drool

 

Come on...this one has been in every mag this past month. It's a Chrysler ME412....ME = mid engine, 4 = turbos, 12 = cyl.

Not everyone reads the mags here so I thought I would share it. There's rumors that the car will actually make it into production. If that happens I'm going to have to carry my spankerchief with me in case I ever see one on the road :p

 

no no no, I was just surprised that so many people didn't get the answer! :D

And, just for fun, can anyone guess this distant cousin (?) Mystery car?



-Eric

 

I guess I'm late to this post, but wasn't this car (that started this thread) on the cover of a VERY popular car mag? Ummmm yeah I know what it is LOL

As far as the pic above............ wow, looks like the bastard child of an old Fiat and early SAAB

 

Is that a Goggomobile?
