The concept looked like it was pretty close to production-ready, with boring stuff that you don’t always see on concepts like side marker lights. The wheels even appear to be a version of the Brabus Monoblock A wheels available for the Fortwo and Roadster.What happened to the Slingshot? DaimlerChrysler insiders informed UK car publication Autocar that production plans were shelved because Dodge apparently couldn’t make a business case, from Autocar:

‘The decision not to put the car into production was reached because we simply weren’t able to get a satisfactory business case together.’

The car could have competed with the then upcoming Pontiac Solstice, and future Solstice owners expected something coming from Dodge. Sadly, it didn’t see the light of day and even the Smart that it was based on ended production after 2005.
The concept survives as one of the reminders of how weird DaimlerChrysler sometimes got with its ideas. I wonder where the Slingshot is today, I need it in my fleet.
