The Plymouth XNR, also called the XNR 500, was a concept car that Chrysler developed and first showed in 1960. Virgil Exner designed it as an open roadster with some asymmetric features, proposed as a sporty addition to the Plymouth lineup and a rival to the Chevrolet Corvette. Carrozzeria Ghia built it in Italy, as it did a range of Exner concepts. It used the chassis and the Slant-6 straight-six engine of the Valiant, both new for 1960, and after a fiberglass nosecone and engine modifications it reached a top speed of 153 miles per hour. It sold for 935,000 dollars at RM Sotheby's Monterey auction on 18 August 2012.
