The 2010 Devon GTX was introduced today on the famed judging stand at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The limited edition supercar is the first product from Los Angeles-based industrial design house Devon Motorworks (devonmotorworks.com). It will go on sale in the first quarter of 2010.
"We are so proud to utilize the hallowed Concours stand as the venue to premiere the first offering from our studio," said Devon Motorworks founder and CEO Scott Devon. "Each year this event serves as a living homage to the great automobiles of our past, many of which served as our inspiration for the Devon GTX. By being mindful of classic design, and blending our own view of modern transportation, it's our sincere hope that we will earn a permanent spot in the landscape of automotive history."
The Devon GTX is – on one hand – a race-inspired performance car, offering a 650-horsepower engine and a complimentary transmission and induction/exhaust system that will make it the most powerful naturally aspirated production powertrain system on the market today. On the other hand, the vehicle's muscular shape represents a new expression of modern industrial design, blending both classic and futuristic cues to warn of the awesome power that exists within its shape.
"We set out to design a vehicle that was quintessentially American, both in its shape and in its performance," Devon said. "Standing still, the Devon GTX tells a story of power, handling and beauty. It's classical, yet futuristic design promises an incredible experience. Once under power, the GTX lives up to its promise every heart-pounding second you're behind the wheel."
