Fair enough, but a model name or year would be good info too.

Ahhhhh!

A concept car from 81.
OK, that makes a lot more sense.

realibrad beat me to it, but your googling skills suck. I searched images for "Dodge Indy Pace Car" and found the model in like 15 seconds altogether

 

[mdram]

its the car from the wraith
charlie sheen movie from the 80's

 

[realibrad]

My favorite concept car from Chrysler has to be the ME412

Not much aero compared to modern super cars, but still sexy.

Who the hell is Charlie Sheen? That movie was known for Sherilyn Fenn.

Sherilyn Fenn was in the Wraith? ...I barely recall that movie, though. We rented it when brother and I had to stay home because of neighborhood adults Christmas party, whatever year that was...and all I remember was that this movie was terrible. And that's at an age when pretty much any movie, especially with a cool car, is going to be considered "Awesome."

OK, I'm surprised, because this is damn impressive:

The mid-engined car had a tested and confirmed top speed of 194.8 miles per hour (313.5 km/h)[1] and could go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 4.1 seconds, with more than 440 horsepower (330 kW) under the hood coming from its relatively small displacement (especially by American standards) 2.2L 4 cylinder forced induction engine.
Its twin-turbo induction system was quite revolutionary and pioneering, and is said[by whom?] to have influenced car makers such as Toyota and Porsche, which a number of years after the M4S was first presented also employed twin turbo setups, namely Toyota on its Supra sportscar, and Porsche on its 959

That is fantastic performance from an engine that essentially no Americans would be willing to use today, and that I never thought them capable of producing, much less designing.

I'm guessing that at that HP and performance, the car probably weighed about 500 kg?

Kinda long in the back, but for the early 80's it is a design ahead of its' time.

She was the GF in the movie. GF of the guy they first killed, then GF/arm candy of the guy who killed him (somehow she didn't know he did it). Then the spirit car comes around for revenge and she realizes it's her old BF.

The engine probably blew up shortly after leaving the lot.

Engine perf is actually one of the areas where super cars have not progressed in as much in terms of power. Look at the 80s Le Mans cars and you can see where this style came from. In fact, that car very much is in line with what you saw in the 80s and beyond for many of the car shapes until aero really took over. Back then it was power and low drag as top speed was king. That was until cars started literally flying off the track. They then split the straits and thus aero became more important than before.

I first was exposed to it in Midnight Club Dub Edition. I love the sharp lines of a Lambo, but, that ME412 has some sexy curves in a car.

I just right clicked on it and clicked on "search google for image", took me 1 second. Maybe it is an extension that I have installed in Chrome?
