The Chrysler Atlantic
take its name, and much of its inspiration, from the Bugatti
Atlantic coupes of the 1930s. Power comes a 4 liter, 32-valve
straight 8 made from two Neon 4 cylinders. The front wheels
measured a then-massive 21 inches in the front and 22 inches in the
rear.
There were rumors at the
time that the vehicle would be put into production, but it is highly
unlikely that Chrysler ever intended to mass-produce this concept.
However, in 2001 Chrysler did introduce the Crossfire concept, which
went into production shortly thereafter. So there were likely
rumblings during this period, or shortly thereafter, for Chrysler to
produce a retro, art deco-looking coupe to serve as a company
flagship.
