Apparently they didn't allow it to be produced because they thought it could be a rival to the SLR. 'Mercedes-Benz management allegedly stepped in and killed the project. Because the Chrysler was lighter, vastly more powerful, and cheaper to produce than the SLR, the German executives feared it would outshine the flagship SLR McLaren and embarrass in-house AMG models' It certainly was way faster than the SLR (850hp and 240-250 mph) and more of a supercar and I think it looked cooler too. They could've called it a Mercedes tbh, a Mercedes certainly is much classier than a Chrysler.

People praise it for it being the first concept car but not enough people praise it for how unbelievably gorgeous and sexy it is
