1961 Plymouth Asimmetrica Roadster

Depending upon whom one asks, the Asimmetrica was either begun by Exner very late in his tenure at Chrysler, then completed by Ghia, or was solely a Ghia design project, in the manner of the earlier Chrysler Specials they had independently produced for European clients. The Asimmetrica roadster, so named because of its unusually lopsided design, with an engine bulge and intake in front of the driver and a sort of short fin behind. It was powered by a 2.8-liter straight six producing all of 101 horsepower, and was based (at least stylistically) on the XNR show car that preceded it by two years.
