Marking the second time it has been spotted this month, our spy photographer have once again caught up with Devon Motor Works’ forthcoming GTX supercar. Devon was hoping to base the GTX on Dodge’s Viper, but is moving full speed ahead with its own design.
This is the very first time that the Devon GTX has been seen, driven on a track and photographed! Any and all previous “photographs” were actually computer-generated imagery (CGI) and no concepts have ever put on display, but our photos are the real thing and prove that the production Devon will be true to the concept rendering! In addition, this is the first evidence that Devon is using up-and-forward doors and sports a glass roof and carbon-fiber body. Other observations include a full belly pan and – although we were unable to discover exactly what’s powering the Devon GTX, we did overhear the engineers bragging about the car’s 650 horsepower.
This test date must have been an important one as we spotted Scott Devon, company founder, and British Le Mans champion Justin Bell driving the soon-to-be American-built supercar.
Although the interior still looks mule-like, the exterior looks like all it needs is a fresh coat of paint – as the carbon-fiber prototype was painted matte black. We’re guessing the look of the huge wing may change slightly before the GTX goes on sale in 2010, but the supercar looks like it’s all ready to go. Initial sales will like be in the States, but we’re guessing sales will eventually extend to Europe and elsewhere.
More details should become available on the GTX closer to its Pebble Beach Concours debut in mid-August.

PERSONALLY I think it’s ugly, that’s only my opinion though. I’m also of the opinion that if I’m paying that much money for a super car I’d want it to be from a name brand company.

That is THE MOST HIDEOUS thing i have ever laid my eyes on, besides all hybrid cars of course…

Camouflage on one side? I think the white bits of string are for aero testing? (A secondary car will photograph the direction of strings)
Unless a heap of people just sneezed on it…

I think when the Camo comes off we will find a Credible Contender however I hope Devon has lots of money because projects like this get very expensive. This is part of the reason Dodge was trying at first to sell off the money consuming Viper Division.

i’ll add it really was the result of a threesome between the ‘vette, viper and batmobile…nobody knows who the real father is, but i’m betting on the batmobile…

Yes this thing is the ugliest thing since the early 2000 models of the American big three, but look at it like this… We finally have a 4th company to produce a high powered muscle car.

It’s really odd looking. I’m betting on the batmobile too.

it think that the viper was lonely and decided to visit Panoz, the neighborhood whore. While they were there, TVR showed up and they had a three way

Whatever you think of this car whether it be directed at the styling or its potential, doesn’t the timing for a new ’supercar’ seem just a little bit odd?

I too think it’s pretty damned ugly. It indeed looks like a cheap kit car of a TVR / Viper. I don’t care how well it performs, there’s a surprising glut of supercars out there, and I highly doubt this dog will succeed.

When you’re this ugly you have to be a very smooth talker to get laid. So this has to perform Enzo-up to be cool enough to compensate that ass ugly face.

Leftwing un its not the Gruesome. I am actually partial to the Original Batmobile the 1964 Batmobile of the Lincoln Futura. . Now that’s the Real Batmobile! Atomic Batteries to Power- Turbines to SPeed. This thing would kick a VIPER, DEVON, ZR-1’s Ass. It had 500HP+ to start and it had Rocket Assist. Nothing could catch that thing. Its faster the Star Ship Enterprise. Beam me up Scotty their’s No Intelligent Life Forms down here. oh yeah Beam aboard the Dynamic Duo Bat man and Robin

Looks like a cross between a porsche and a TVR. But.. You can tell it has the design of a porsche and the engineering of a TVR. Good luck!

The more I see it, the more I like it actually. It’s different…definitely has it’s own unique style. With massive amounts of power and low weight (I assume at least), I think it’ll be a cool fun supercar for those who don’t have want a car from a house-hold name manufacturer such as a Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini. Basically it’s an American version of the TVR….which is a concept I like very much!

I think it is beautiful! It reminds me of a 60’s area vette mixed with a viper.
