Asymmetrical and low, the XNR has two seats; the passenger side is covered by a cowl, and there’s a sizable storage space underneath the fin behind the driver. Built by Ghia in Italy, powered by a Nascar-ready version of the company’s slant six churning 250 hp, the XNR was supposed to preview where Chrysler design would head in the futuristic ’60s. It also managed to hit 150 mph in testing.
