The Jeep Willys2 is a concept car made by the Chrysler Group. It was presented at the 2001 Tokyo Auto Show. It is based on the Willys MB. The Willys2 uses frame web technology and a one-piece carbon-fiber body. It looks like a newer, meaner version of the Liberty. The Willys2 took many design cues from other Jeep models such as the special seven slot grille and trapezoidal wheel arches. The Willys2 comes in weighing about 3000 pounds with its removable carbon-fiber top. Its 160 hp I4 can propel it from 0-60 in 10 seconds and a top speed of about 90 mph. The interior is all plastic, and it is possible to clean the interior by spraying it with water. [2] Part of the design of the Willys2 was incorporated into the Jeep Liberty. [1]
