The ME Four-Twelve is a concept car DaimlerChrysler produced under the Chrysler brand in 2004. Taking less than one year for design and development. It was designed by Brian Nielander (exterior) and Mark Walters (interior). The name is rooted in the Mid-Engine with Four turbochargers on a Twelve-cylinder engine.
Chrysler initially stated that the ME Four-Twelve was a prototype intended to lead to production. They later put a temporary stop to the project after several protests from the SLR division of Mercedes-Benz. However, as of fall of 2005, Chrysler announced that the project was again "under active consideration" for continued development.

Now that you know what it is. Why would Chrysler stop production on this?! It seems like a very amazing machine. I want one!

 

It has been out in public for a while. It has made the autoshow rounds a few years ago. I wouldn't mind owning one, but not unless they make an SRT version.

 

Here is a video for you to enjoy

Too bad this one never really saw the light of day. Another amazing American design deep-sixed by the Germans. It's a european conspiracy to retain claim to the supercar throne... Looks like it would have been a Ferrari/Lambo beater!

 

That is one bad @ss car!!

I worked at Metalcrafters during the time.

 

I think I'd have worked a few extra hours on that project!
