i doubt Chrysler will ever put that into production.
Oh? "The ME 4-12 is not a concept car but a prototype. According to Deutsche Press, around 300 Chrysler ME 4-12 will be built each year, largely with carbon, aluminum, and other light-weight metals. Road testing is scheduled for late January, with production rumored to start within two years.
AutoWeek test drove the vehicle in August 2004; there were many differences from the show car, but it is now officially a prototype, headed for production."

The ME-Four12 will eventually be given the green light with proper modifications and stuff. It definitely won't be in two years though. Prototypes never make it to production that fast, especially prototype supercars.
However, I'd rather have a TT Viper SRT for ~$200,000 than a ME-Four12 for $600,000+.

Read more about it here: ME-412
i doubt Chrysler will ever put that into production.
I doubt anyone on CEG will ever consider actually buying one of these cars.

depends how much they would give me for my trade-in. lets see...$200k less $5k for my csvt leaves me with $195k due. oh yeah, if its a new car, $30k for gas guzzler tax and i believe even more for luxury tax. i wonder if you can trade a house in?

Actually, wire frames of Petunia began in '99. The concept came earlier that year. Prove me wrong. Please. What did happen in less than 2 years was that the first production car rolled out after production was approved by the powers that be in Dearborn.
Please tell me more about your degree in "specialty auto production."

didnt the Panoz Esperante make it to production pretty quick? i believe it did. although some may not consider that a "supercar" based on its price.
