"You just got yourself a Chrysler holmes, an ME Four-Twelve. Ain't she beautiful?" - Unlock quote
The Chrysler ME Four-Twelve is an exotic vehicle available in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition.
Description[]
The ME Four-Twelve is the embodiment of Chrysler Group CEO Wolfgang Bernhard's dream to see a US manufacturer rival the supercar pedigree traditionally associated with the European design and engineering.
The ME Four-Twelve is more of a prototype for a full production vehicle than just a concept vehicle. Made of lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum construction materials, it's 7-speed double clutch and 850 horsepower combine to give a blinding acceleration of 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, and an unbelievable top speed just shy of 250 miles per hour.
Performance[]
The Chrysler ME Four-Twelve is the fastest vehicle in the game (the second fastest being the McLaren F1 LM and the third fastest being the Pagani Zonda C-12 S). An easy way to find out this is to use a 2 player cruise or race with one player using the ME Four-Twelve and the other using either the McLaren or the Zonda. It has 7 gears, which can make it go beyond 250MPH.
Even more impressive than its straight-line performance is its handling. Despite being able to outrun any other car in the game in most scenarios, it is also extremely generous around corners and has incredible steering precision at the 230mph speeds it hovers around at, allowing it to consistently avoid traffic even at top speed. With the default tune it has the perfect balance of oversteer and understeer.

Acquisition[]
The Chrysler ME Four-Twelve is unlocked by winning all 16 races in the "By Invitation Only" club race. If the player's garage is full when they complete all of the By Invitation Only club, the player will earn $240,000 instead, which equates to the ME Four-Twelve's purchase price.
Since the By Invitation Only Club Races can be attempted right after obtaining an Exotic, the ME Four-Twelve can be one of the four Exotics the player unlocks before Class A vehicles are unlocked, along with the Pagani Zonda C-12 S, Cadillac Cien and 1998 Gemballa F355.

Trivia[]
- The ME Four-Twelve, if won from the By Invitation Only club in the original Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, the car's name will be set to ME 412, but if won in the REMIX version, the car's name will be set to FOUR TWELVE (like how purchased ME Four-Twelves are named).
- Selecting Custom Pearlescent Color will automatically set the ME Four-Twelve's color to match that of Ceasar's.
- Despite having lower acceleration and speed stats than the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, the Four Twelve outperforms the said bike, as the bike's low value was merely meant to trade-off for it's weaknesses, such as:
- The ZX-12R, being a sports bike, has a reduced nitro capacity (having only 2 nitrous instead of 4 when max upgraded)
- Bikes have longer recovery time after crashes.
- It is one of the 6 exotic cars that are commonly driven by the AI in the late-game, along with the Lamborghini Murciélago Coupe, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, McLaren F1 LM, Saleen S7 and Pagani Zonda C-12 S.
- Coincidentally, the aforementioned vehicles, except the Zonda (as it is a REMIX vehicle), and the S7 (which Angel drives in his first encounter; who instead drives a Cadillac Cien in the U.S. Championship Series), are driven by the U.S. Championship Series opponents.
