Chrysler pulled the plug on the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve. Here is a link. http://www.freep.com/money/autonews/chrysler6e_20050106.htm I am not too suprised. With all the problems VVW is having with the Bugatti maybe Chrysler decided it wasn't worth the trouble.
It a ploy to sest the temp of the public. Ford did the same thing with the GT and Dodge did the same thing with the viper and Chrysler did the same with the Prowler.
Maybe timing's not right. Fear may be going XJ220, Bugatti, Cizetta ... in current economic climate. Cool car awaiting next pyramid scheme.
AJ had already gotten his deposit back in the summer. Too bad about the MB/McLaren though, I'm sure Gordon Murray wants another shot to show that McLaren doesn't stand for obese, absurdly elongated automatic freeway cruisers.
Disappointed, but not surprised. Hopefully after the ford GT90 and the chrysler ME412 fail, GM will learn their lessons and get one (crazy-ass V12 quad-turbo AWD) to production.
