Czech supercar - Metalex Tatra V8

Recommended Posts

This was launched in 1991 by Czech racing car builder Metalex (MTX) in cooperation with Tatra.  It used the Tatra quad cam V8 enlarged from the usual 3.5 litres to 3.9, still air cooled of course.  Scissor doors and BMW 850 pop-up headlamps  complete Václav Král's styling and this is the only test of one in English.

If you've watched any of Kanye West's self indulgent crap, you might have seen this in "Runaway".  However it brings this old TV advert to my mind :)

 

 

A few more pictures of it

Interior bits shamelessly cribbed from the current Tatra 613.  My 1994 car had exactly this little aircon controller in it!
