Devon GTX, the American Supercar That Breaks the Mold

Defiant Elegance - In a world where most supercars tend to look and feel somewhat similar, there comes a machine that dares to carve its own identity. Enter the Devon GTX—an American-born beast that marries design artistry with raw performance in a way that’s both surprising and refreshing. While many car enthusiasts are drawn to names that dominate racetracks or headline auto expos, the Devon GTX quietly commands attention through presence, precision, and personality.

At first glance, the Devon GTX doesn’t try to shout. Instead, it speaks in a deep, confident tone through its red-and-black color combination. The sleek, minimalist body is wrapped in lightweight yet strong carbon fiber—typical of a modern supercar, yes—but executed in a way that feels more elegant than exaggerated. Despite its nods to traditional sports car styling, it feels thoroughly contemporary. From every angle, it looks like it means business.

Much of that assertive attitude comes from how it was designed. With Swedish designer Daniel Paulin handling the visuals and founder Scott Devon steering the vision, the Devon Motor Works team—based in Los Angeles—crafted a vehicle that leans into its American roots while keeping its gaze on the future. The design is compact and muscular, and every curve has a purpose. There's nothing flashy for the sake of being flashy—just pure, focused aggression molded into aerodynamic beauty.

Look closer, and you’ll notice the bumper’s 3-inch air filter lattice not only channels air to cool the engine but also contributes to a better combustion process. It’s small touches like this that separate performance-focused engineering from mere showmanship. The massive 20-inch lattice-structure center-lock wheels and butterfly doors add to the car’s unique character—each feature adding function as well as flair.

This sense of balance continues in the cabin, where every element is tailored for the driving enthusiast. The interior isn’t overloaded with gimmicks; instead, it’s built around the experience of high-performance driving. From the seating position to the instrument layout, everything is designed to keep the driver connected and in control.

Under the hood, things get serious. A monstrous 8.4-liter V10 engine sits at the heart of the Devon GTX, producing a thundering 650 horsepower. That’s not just a number—it’s a pulse-pounding promise. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, the GTX can catapult from 0 to 96 km/h (60 mph) in just 3.3 seconds and continue pushing all the way to a top speed of 338 km/h (210 mph). This isn’t a car for the timid; it’s a machine built for those who live for the thrill of the road.

The Devon GTX was first revealed to the world at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2009, with the official model year marked as 2010. Even today, more than twenty five years later, it remains a striking example of what can happen when passion, precision, and design come together without compromise.

Unfortunately, the American supercar never entered regular production, as the economic downturn in 2010 brought the project to an early end. In the end, only two units of the Devon GTX were ever completed—one dressed in a bold red and black combination, the other in a sleek mix of black and chrome. 

That limited production only adds to its mystique. The Devon GTX doesn’t rely on mainstream recognition to prove its worth—it stands on its own as a rare creation, engineered with purpose, designed with passion, and built to defy convention. For those who truly appreciate the essence of driving, the Devon GTX is far more than just a machine. It’s a bold declaration on four wheels. *** [EKA [27122013] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DEVON MOTOR WORKS | ROBBREPORT | TOPGEAR ]
