Devon Motorworks has released a new promotional video of their GTX supercar at Laguna Seca.

As we have previously reported, on July 23, the GTX set a Laguna Seca one-lap production car record of 1:35.075. This compares to "rough" estimates that put the Nissan GT-R's lap time at 1:39.62, and the Porsche 911 Turbo's lap time at 1:39.89.

The stunning event caused company founder, Scott Devon, to say "The Laguna Seca test session showed us just a glimpse of what the Devon GTX is capable of from a performance perspective. Through further validation and testing, we know this car is capable of even greater lap times and making an even stronger statement about the future of the American supercar."

The Devon GTX will be officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on August 15.

Very nice. Nothing like beating the GTR and 911 Turbo. And it's a nice looking car. Still not sure about the black panels though.

I don't understand comparing this car and the Viper ACR to the 911 and GTR.

Two different kinds of cars.

The 911 and GTR you can take road trips with.

This car and the Viper ACR you can take road trips with, and end up with sored bum and a bad back.

IMO what the 911 and the GTR can do on the track is much more impressive to me.
