| Chrysler The Chrysler Corporation began as the Maxwell Motor Corporation, which hired Walter Chrysler in 1921 to help the company out of bankruptcy. Chrysler flirted with bankruptcy again in the early 1980s, but Lee Iacocca and the K-car came to the rescue, followed in 1984 with the introduction of the market-changing minivan. In November 1998 Chrysler became a division of DaimlerChrysler AG, created by a merger between Daimler-Benz and the Chrysler Corporation. In 2007 Chrysler split from Daimler to become Chrysler LLC. |

  | Chrysler Nassau Concept @ NAIAS 2007  Detroit Show: Chrysler Nassau Concept unofficially unleashed Let’s get straight to the point on this one. Chrysler’s Detroit concept is a luxury sports sedan based on the 300 platform that could be described as 4door-shooting brake (or break if you preffer). Then again, if you’ve been to Europe you could say its an American version of the Opel Signum. Anyway, although being nearly 5 metres (196,1”) long, the Nassau actually looks quite compact in the pics. In the interior, Chrysler’s new concept treats its passengers with anatomic bucket seats and as MOPAR boyz put it, “cell phone, computer, iPod and MP3 player” inspired designed elements. Apart from sharing its platform with the Chrysler 300, the Nassau also gets the 300C SRT-8’s 6.1L HEMI V8 producing 425 Hp. Unfortunately, it also shares the same 5speed Auto transmission –how about a manual guys?. According to Chrysler, the Nassau can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 5,0 seconds reaching a top speed of 165 mph. SPECIFICATIONS: Weight and Dimensions Weight - 4500 lbs (est) Length - 196.1" (4981 mm) Wheelbase - 120" (3050 mm) Front overhang - 37" (940mm) Rear overhang - 39" (991 mm) Width - 74.2" (1885 mm) Height - 58.9" (1496 mm) Track - front/rear 63.8"/65.5" Turn circle - 38.7 ft (11.8m) Couple - 35.5" (755 mm) Powertrain and suspension Engine 6.1L HEMI, 425 hp @ 6200 rpm, 420 ft. lb @ 4800 rpm Drivetrain RWD, A580 5-speed automatic Suspension Front/SLA, Rear/5-Link Independent Key Performance Attributes 0-60 mph - 5 seconds Standing 1/4 Mile - 13.5 seconds Top speed - 165 mph Range - 380 miles - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER   - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

| Re: Chrysler Nassau Concept @ NAIAS 2007 The front and interior aren't bad, not a huge fan of the rear, though... Quote:
 But I really do hope for BMW's sake that they are able to make it an attractive car... | |
