The American Supercar That Almost Beat the Viper | Devon GTX – Forgotten Legend of Speed

Meet the **Devon GTX** — the American supercar that had everything to conquer the world… until fate hit the brakes. Designed in California by Scott Devon and powered by a monstrous 8.4-liter V10 from the Dodge Viper, this beast packed 650 horsepower and a top speed north of 320 km/h. It wasn’t just fast — it was fearless. Unveiled in 2009, the GTX stunned the automotive world with its sleek carbon-fiber design, aggressive stance, and raw performance. It even set a lap record at Laguna Seca during testing — proof that it wasn’t just a pretty face. Only 36 were planned for production, each hand-built and priced at around half a million dollars. But then came the crash — not on the track, but in the economy. Chrysler’s bankruptcy during the 2008 financial crisis cut off the supply of Viper engines, leaving Devon Motors stranded. The project was cancelled, and only two prototypes were ever completed. Just two! Today, those two cars are priceless pieces of what could’ve been — America’s answer to Ferrari and Lamborghini, lost to time. The Devon GTX remains one of the greatest “what ifs” in supercar history.
