Built on a carbon-fiber and aluminum honeycomb monocoque tub, the ME (Mid-Engine) Four (turbochargers) Twelve (cylinder engine) from Chrysler in 2004 was an all-out performer. The concept was fitted with a carbon fiber wind-tunnel body shell designed for high-speed down-force stability.
It was powered by an AMG-developed V12 quad-turbo delivering 850 horsepower, and shifted through a 7-speed double clutch transmission. With an overall weight of just 2880 pounds, the ME 412 ran the 1/4-mile in 10.6 seconds at 142 mph, thanks to uninterrupted torque to the rear wheels and 200 millisecond shift times.
With a top speed in excess of 245 mph, it was the fastest, most advanced Chrysler product ever produced.
