AMX (automobile)
|
The AMX was an American-designed automobile manufactured by the former Bizzarrini factory in Turin, Italy. Six cars were made from 1969 to 1972. It was designed chiefly by American Motors (AMC) designer Richard "Dick" Teague.
The car is more commonly known as the AMX/3, being the third iteration of AMC's AMX (American Motors Experimental) two seater concept. The second version, the AMX/2, was never produced, though tow rolling prototypes were made.
ItalDesign supplied bodywork for the car, which was mid-engined. It featured a 6383 cc (360 in³) AMC V8 engine developing 345 PS (SAE) at 5100rpm and a custom made OTO Melara five speed transaxle.
