NETFLIX CAR MASTER'S PLYMOUTH XNR | RAREST CARS IN THE WORLD

Today we dive into the PLYMOUTH XNR Replica. Built by Gotham Garage on Season 2 of the Netflix show “Car Masters: Rust to Riches.” It is also built on a 1960 Valiant chassis, with a fiberglass body recreated using the original design plans. Upon completion, the car was donated to the Petersen. Only two replicas exist, both having been built by Gotham Garage, the other one being in a private collection.
The 1960 Plymouth XNR was a concept car developed by Chrysler and Plymouth and designed by Virgil Exner as a sports roadster. Virgil Max "Ex" Exner Sr. was an automobile designer for numerous American companies and a pioneer of radial automobile design, known for creating many cars, including the XNR, which is named after him. The XNR was originally designed to compete with the Corvette and Thunderbird. It features an asymmetrical design, a fiberglass body on a 1960 Plymouth Valiant frame and a 6 cylinder engine producing 250hp and a top speed of 150mph. Only one concept model was ever made and never made it to production.

Definitely a unique head-turner

My favorite Plymouth concept car of all! Masterpiece!👌

[@dominicvega9267]

This exact car was recently seen in the new TV show Fallout in episode 1 about 2mins in.

[@mformuzik1]

I Like the experimental design language.

[@gemini6999]

I would call this a copy rather than a replica. I doubt that even the original builder would be able to tell his apart from the Gotham Garage car. They did a stunning job.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

😍Beautiful!!!!! 👍

[@charlesschmid8778]

Did I misunderstand what was said about the original XNR having fuel injection? It did not., and neither does this car.

The leaning tower of power

The "slant 6" no less! 1:02

Fundraising suggestion: have track days where you charge donors to drive cars in the Petersen collection

[@SuZySueSuzyQ]

💯👏🏁✨🏁

[@drcerberus6058]

Ah yes Mr. Admin's favorite car

[@jaideepwadali]

Came here from netflix

[@nicholasgade2288]

I thought it was super sad when that one shop made a replica/ 2 of then

[@dazaspc]

If it's a replica as a museum the VERY first thing you lead with is "It's a Replica"

[@Audion]

There are replicas, and then there are copies, I rather think this is a copy as it is a bit superior to a replica in quality.

[@Hankfan7779]

Saw this in Fallout

[@RiC3R69]

Прекрасное будущее которое не наступило...:'(

[@joeriveracomedy]

Did Homer Simpson design that?

[@timtation5837]

Why do you have the hood looking all wonky in this video? Are you not able to close the hood or something?

[@Its2fast99]

Have you ever looked at Gotham Garage cars? They’re absolute garbage! Just look up images of their cars and pay close attention to paint and body work. They’re all a total mess.

[@BrewBlaster]

Looks like a slant-six; drive that MFer.

[@merlehouse782]

🏕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@andreas.Paok.]

Gotham Garage made this car and give it for free to a car show to L.A!!!
