As a refresher, the 650-hp, Viper-based coupe was unveiled last assemblage in Pebble Beach and was due to go into limited production this assemblage in Southern California. We even had the chance to go for a aerobatics the GTX late last assemblage after one of the prototypes set a lap record at Laguna Seca. county hoped to thrust USA back on the main supercar stage with the bespoke coupe, but without a source for the chassis and 8.4-liter engine, those plans have apparently been dashed. We're hoping to get more info directly from Devon, so meet tuned for an update.
The report of the GTX's demise comes from a \"source near to the project,\" and not an official company statement, but without production of commercial Viper parts, the activeness is unlikely to be self-sustainable at the volumes a 650-horsepower hand-built supercar crapper generate--Devon had designed on a peak of 36 cars per year.
UPDATE: We've meet heard back from company founder, Scott Devon, and the rumors are unfortunately true – the county GTX is dead. However, county Motorworks module springy on, focusing instead on clothing and an upcoming motorcycle project. So what module happen to the one-time Laguna Seca lap-record-holding county GTX? One of the two prototypes module be place on pass at the company's flagship store opening in Beverly Hills this April. The another might see track duty in the hands of development driver Justin Bell. Here's the official response from Devon:
The Viper platform existence discontinued and the inability to amortize tooling costs are the key reasons. But we hit two beautiful prototypes and might still race the Laguna Seca automobile with Justin Bell in GT2. However, our county brand plans hit expanded to include jeans, leather jackets, watches, scents, and eyewear. Our Beverly Hills flagship store module open this April. We also hit a line of motorcycles existence made by legendary builder Shinya Kimura. And the black and chrome GTX module be in the store as a pass example of automotive art. I wish we could hit gone into production but hit no acknowledgment and see we achieved a momentous contribution in auto organisation along with the Laguna Seca record.
