Chrysler has released these photos of the upcomingNassau concept.

The new concept car will be shown for the first time at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit in January .

Chrysler says the Nassau four-door concept is a four-door luxury “coupe” with an emphasis on driving dynamics. The styling cues on the exterior are indications of themes the company is exploring for future vehicles, it adds, and notes that the concept “highlights sweeping curves to define the front and rear fasciae.”

Since it rides on a 120-inch wheelbase, it's not hard to picture the Nassau as a precursor to the next 300C - which Chrysler even name-checks in its press materials. The coupe-like roofline plays off the 10-spoke, 21-inch wheels, Chrysler adds.

Inside, Chrysler says the Nassau evokes high art and sculpture with a pod-like controller and a three-layer instrument panel that displays information, navigation, and other controls.

Stay tuned for more information on this new concept as TheCarConnection covers the 2007 Detroit auto show starting January 7, 2007.
