Devon Motorworks GTX - American Supercar !?

Late last week it was revealed that Chrysler has only received one serious bid for its Dodge Viper business, which has been up for sale since last August. Even with the car’s instant recognizability, street cred and stunning performance, the entire business - including a 392,000 square foot assembly plant - could only muster a low-ball figure of $5.5 million.

That figure was offered by American motorsports company Devon Motorworks (DMW), which hoped to use the plant to build its very own supercar, the GTX. While not much is known about the GTX, purchasing the Viper business would have allowed DMW to base the car around the renowned Viper platform.

We should know much more about the GTX this August as a prototype is scheduled to be unveiled that same month at the Pebble Beach Concours. Our first look at the car, however, will come this July when the company will attempt to break the world lap record for a production car at the Nurburgring.

What we know so far is that the car’s design is being handled by noted Swedish designer and former Ford employee Daniel Paulin. Previewed here in these official computer generated renderings, Paulin's new design language gives the GTX a classical yet futuristic line. The interior of the GTX will appear Spartan but will be packed with high-tech gear. There will be plenty of retro touches as well, including the gear lever and white gear knob.
