Its ok but the interior is to enzo wanna be. The exterior is ok but reminds me of a typical crysler the engine and the transmission is perfect though.

Looks nothing like anything I have ever seen from Chrysler. Usually Chrysler Concepts have way too much "retro" old school styling from the 40's & 50's. This is completely contemporary, art deco and quite avantgarde.

Do you think we could see this engine in an E65 or the next CL65?
That would be so great.

Its under the name of Chrysler. I think the side view can be compared to the McLaren F1. The interior is terrible!
I like the numbers its pushing.
