We
wanted Phaeton's performance characteristics to be comparable to that
of its inspirational father, the Newport," said Walling. "After all, the
Newport was the pace car of the Indianapolis 500 in 1941.

The
power retractable convertible hardtop was developed and built by ASC,
which made convertible tops for Chrysler (until the 2007 Sebring) and
was also responsible for much of the design of the Chevy SSR. Phaeton's
imposing size is supported by impressive performance. Its 132-inch (3353
mm) wheelbase and 22-inch wheels are powered by a 48-valve 5.4 liter
aluminum V12 engine [perhaps two 2.7 liter V6 engines?]. Ride and
handling are enhanced by an advanced suspension, similar to that of the
Dodge Viper. The body-on-frame, rear wheel drive car used a four-speed
automatic with a Dana 40 axle, making one suspicious that the truck
division contributed its basic chassis.
Beautiful Design Modern Interior The Chrysler Phaeton Concept Car
Richness,
comfort and attention-to-detail are communicated throughout the
vehicle's interior which features cream and brown-colored leather trim,
woven cream leather inserts, satin metal details, and Zebrano wood
accents. Both front and rear passenger compartments are separate and
have their own radio, climate controls, luxurious seats, arm rests and
center consoles. Speedometer and tachometer gauges are also featured in
both compartments which allow rear passengers to monitor vehicle
performance at a glance.

The
dual cowl has expressive flowing lines, finely drawn details in the
egg-crate grille, and a retractable rear compartment windshield.
"Chrysler Phaeton effectively captures classic images from the Chrysler
LHX and Chrysler Atlantic and translates them into a convertible
format," said wailing.
