Chrysler Sets Supercar Bar at NAIAS 2004 The Chrysler Group set the bar in terms of both design and performance at NAIAS 2004, revealing the stunning ME Four-Twelve super sports car prototype.

http://autoshow.msn.com/as/aut...c=msn

The ME Four-Twelve mid-engine prototype was the dramatic conclusion to the Chrysler Group reveal of four concept cars that also included the Dodge Sling Shot, Jeep Rescue and Jeep Treo. Wolfgang Bernhard, chief operating officer of the Chrysler Group, drove the ME Four-Twelve onstage and emphasized that the super sports car is not really concept car, but a working prototype.

The AMG-developed all-aluminum 6.0-liter V12 engine produces 850 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque, and the car has a curb weight of only 2,880 pounds.

I'm honestly not sure what to think about the Sling Shot. Either I love it, or I hate it.

The roof line and rear window disturb me. The whole thing is very angular.

That's the Dodge Magnum. It was my favorite car at the last car show here in Atlanta. Took a lotta digital pics of that thing. Some folks who were gawking at it said it sorta looked like a hearse.... lol.
