Looks cool. What is it? Quad-turbo, 12cylinder... that thing should haul the mail pretty well. ;)

After seeing one in person, I cannot imagine myself picking anything over a $400k Carrera GT, though.

Its called the Chrysler ME 4-12, I think sticker it was around what the Enzo was, $500,000 which you can get an Enzo now for 1,000,000+, but now the ME 4-12 is around $800,000, still a little out of my price range

300 Chrysler ME 4-12's will be made per year, zero to sixty is expected to be 3.0 seconds (Corvette Z06 is 4.0), with a top speed of 240 mph and a quarter mile time of 11.0 seconds.

Chrysler found 0-60 in 2.9, 0-100 in 6.2, and a 10.6 second quarter mile (at 136 mph).

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. It uses the double-clutch automatically-controlled manual transmission designed and patented by Chrysler (http://www.allpar.com/corporate/auto-manual-transmission.html), with manual overrides via steering wheel paddles.
