Supercar lovers hoping for the Devon GTX would lead to a Dodge Viperrevival may have had their dreams dashed. Chrysler's decision to killoff the Viper is forcing the niche automaker to eliminate theirViper-based GTX, according to published reports.
Devon Motorworks has not officially confirmed the death of theirsupercar, possibly because the company wants to make one more attemptto purchase the Viper model from Chrysler.
The GTX would have used an 8.4-liter 650-horsepower V10-enginecapable of delivering impressive speed to the supercar. During testing,the GTX unofficially crushed the lap time record at the Laguna Seca,posting a 1m 35.075s time. That is roughly 4.5 seconds faster than theNissan GT-R.
Unveiled in August at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the GTXwas supposed to go on sale this year. 36 units were expected to beproduced annually. |
