S class V12 in the
CHRYSLER! 850HP NE four-twelve
prototype that they are
showing at NAIAS?

The articles I read says its an AMG-designed engine. Obviously since AMG
primarily modifies Mercedes engines, its no doubt heavily influenced by
Mercedes. But an AMG engine is no more or less a Mercedes than a Keith
Black Hemi is a Chrysler or a Falconer is a Chevrolet.

Here's a real good story on the car that was posted on turbododge.com

I disagree. AMG is wholly Mercedes-owned and is essentially there
in-house tuning arm. It's a Merc engine in my book (and in my database
;-)

I have heard the car is a prototype
and they intend to have a running
version this summer. Do you think
it will go into production? It would
seem to me a smart move, they need a
blinding halo.

It's a Mercedes concept and if it goes into production it will
essentially be a Mercedes model.

Why they are calling it a Chrysler I have no idea.

Again with the halo. Chrysler already has a "halo". It's the Viper.
Even the viper is prices beyond the means of 99% of anyone considering
buying a Chrysler. This V-12 "Merc that wants to call itself a
Chrysler" would be priced even higher and production numbers even
lower than the Viper.

Chrysler had a "halo" car that was shown at the Detroit Auto Show in
Jan. 2000. It was the Hemi 300 convertible, and we could have been
driving them 2 years ago if Daimler didn't takeover Chrysler.
