the Metalex MTX GT 3900, produced in cooperation with Tatra in 1991. It was designed by Czech automobile designer Václav Král and was the fastest Czech car of that time. Thanks Kim!

 
introduced to the public in October 1991 at the auto show in Prague. After that, MTX received almost 200 orders for the car, so the company started production of a limited series of 100 units. When the project was sold to a new owner during the early stages of production, the factory suffered a fire that forever terminated volume manufacturing of the car.  (insurance fraud?)

Only four Tatra MTX V8s were ever built; a red and a white one that have Czech private owners, a black one that is exhibited in the Sports Car Museum in Lány, and a fourth was reportedly delivered as a kit to the United States. In 2010 the car appeared in the Kanye West film Runaway, which was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic.
