Der Plymouth Pronto Spyder war ein US-amerikanisches Konzeptfahrzeug, das 1998 vorgestellt wurde. Angetrieben wurde der zweitürige Roadster von einem turbogeladenen 2,4 L, 225 PS (168 kW) 4-Zylinder Mittelmotor mit Fünfgang-Schaltgetriebe.[1]
Der vom Design her an europäischen Roadstern orientierte Pronto Spyder besaß statt aus Stahl ein leichtgewichtiges, aus recycleten Materialien wie PET hergestelltes Fahrzeugchassis. Damit wog der Wagen nur rund 1225 kg (2700 lb).[2] Der Innenraum war mit Sprühfarbe in Rot gefärbt[3] und mit einem retro-gestylten “Schildkröten-Panzer” Lenkrad, das später beim Chrysler 300C genutzt wurde, ausgestattet.

Um in Produktion gehen zu können, hätte das Konzept u. a. Sicherheitsvorschriften erfüllen, eine bessere Steifigkeit der Karosserie (die A-Säule hätte überarbeitet werden müssen), Federwegfreiheit für das Radhaus und Rückspiegel aufweisen müssen.
Nach der Auflösung der Marke Plymouth im Jahr 2001[4] führte Chrysler dieses Projekt nicht weiter, somit wurde der Pronto Spyder nie serienmäßig produziert.

Back on November 4th, Hemming's Blog posted an article about the closing of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum . I had missed a couple other opportunities with the WPC Club and others to get into the museum, after it had closed to the public. I did not want to regret missing this last chance to see all of the vehicles before being spread out to other facilities. I trekked from Western Minnesota to Eastern Michigan during Winter Storm Decima. I missed the worst parts of the storm, but still had to endure the aftermath winds, sub zero temperatures and a lake effect snow storm.
The trip was difficult, but well worth it. I got to see several Chrysler Corporation concept and show cars that I had only seen pictures of before. There were several clever interactive displays demonstrating various innovations over the years.
Since it was the last chance, I duplicated several shots using different camera settings to see what produced better results. I wish I had invested in a strobe light diffuser for all of those indoor pictures. I have not had much experience or success in the past with indoor car images.Autor/Urheber: Greg Gjerdingen from Willmar, USA, Lizenz: CC BY 2.0
