Devon GTX.

                                      Devon GTX.
The Devon GTX is a coupe with 2 doors and a front mounted engine which delivers its power through the rear wheels.
The GTX is the first vehicle to come from the Los Angeles-based industrial design firm, and it seems to have the credentials and performance to go head-to-head with some of the biggest names in the business.
Constructed of aircraft-quality carbon fiber from stem to stern, the Devon GTX instantly communicates its ultra-performance capability through aggressive, compact proportions and large (up to 20-inch) lattice-structure center-lock wheels. In all the exterior design navigates between the past and science fiction subtly blending muscle curves exquisite shapes and dynamic graphics to create a classical yet futuristic statement that's ready to stand the test of time.

Inside carbon fiber-reinforced racing seats dual-grained leather surfacing throughout and tasteful chrome appointments communicate a Miesian, "less is more" design philosophy. A neo-retro gear lever - topped by a white gear knob - melds driver with machine.
At the structural core, the Devon GTX is built upon a framework that is as advanced as any in the global automotive industry.

Overlaying its steel structure is a glove-fit, single-piece molded superstructure made of carbon fiber. Construction of the superstructure requires a complex mold - essentially the size of the vehicle - in which all datum and attachment points are positioned within literally fractions of a millimeter. Once the superstructure is in place all body panel attachment points are inherently accurate for uncommonly consistent builds. The superstructure - due to the use of carbon fiber - is also extremely lightweight, strong and stiff, ensuring outstanding crash performance noise / vibration tuning, and incredibly accurate chassis tuning.
At the heart of the GTX is a massive 8.4-liter V10 engine that produces 650 horses. It is teamed with a 6-speed manual transmission. To keep the pounds off and the chassis stiff, the GTX's body is made of carbon fiber. This combination of power and lightweight materials has helped the GTX to set the production-car lap record at the famed Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca with a time of 1:35.075.

The Devon GTX goes on sale early next year for a whopping $500,000. For an additional $25,000, an optional race package can be added. Devon Motorworks plans to produce just 36 cars per year at its facility in Southern California.
