They are an interesting historical footnote as Chrysler owned Maserati and Lamborghini briefly and the TC was the only commercially known result of those marriages.  The Daytona powered by a Lamborghini V10 drivetrain was just an engineering exercise.  There was an article about it though.

There's supposedly another commercial result: Chrysler evidently sent Lamborghini's engineering department the blueprints to the iron truck V10 and had them rework it to make the Viper motor.

... However, it was pretty beat, even for a used Chrysler.  Among all the Ferraris and Lamborginis it stuck out like a turd in a punchbowl.

I remember seeing a Wagoneer with a lamborghini motor in a car museum somewhere - supposedly was a chrysler engineering exercise from back then. What an awesome thing that would have been.

Achh!  Horrid cars. Ironically there is one decsribed as a "HOT sports machine" (which you'd think would entail it being abe to out accelerate a modern Civic, but...).  They want $18,000 dollars for it and are advertising it as a 1989 Maserati TC.....

I have craigslist searches saved (with email alert!) for all the different ways of describing these cars. I've come close to the right deal but not close enough... yet..devil
