 | The concept car was built in 1959 by Ghia and was presented in 1960. The red XNR, designed by Virgil M. Exner, was powered by a 170 Slant-Six engine prepared to NASCAR specs, which pumped out 250 horsepower. On Chrysler's testing track, the car had a top speed of 150 mph.
Chrysler decided there was just no market for the car; even if there had been, the styling would likely have seemed just too far out to sell well.
