Chrysler ME FourTwelve Concept
The ME Four-Twelve is a concept car produced by DaimlerChrysler under the Chrysler brand. Its name is derived from the combination of a mid-engine and twelve cylinders, four of which are turbocharged. This supercar is an impressive specimen, reputed to be able to reach the speed of 250 mph, powered by its V12 engine. Unfortunately, it was never put into production, most likely due to tensions with Mercedes-Benz. Despite this, it is featured in several racing games, such as Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and Forza Motorsport, and as a prop in the movie-making computer game "The Movies" (2005).
