Rumormill: Devon GTX shelved due to Dodge Viper’s demise
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Dodge
This is a depressing way to start the new year. According to a “source close to the project” speaking with Automobile, plans to produce the Devon GTX have been cancelled due to the Dodge Viper discontinuation.
As a refresher, the 650-hp, Viper-based coupe was unveiled last year in Pebble Beach and was due to go into limited production this year in Southern California. We even had the chance to go for a spin the GTX late last year after one of the prototypes set a lap record at Laguna Seca. Devon hoped to thrust America 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 details directly from Devon, so stay tuned for an update.
