The Greatest Car America Never Built the Perfect Supercar... Then Killed It Too SOON
The Greatest Car America Never Built The Perfect Supercar... Then Killed It
In 1970, AMC — the company known for building budget cars in Kenosha, Wisconsin — secretly travelled to Italy and built a mid-engine supercar that hit 160 mph at Monza. Only 6 were ever made. Today, each one sells for nearly $1,000,000.
This is the story of the AMC AMX/3 — the forgotten American supercar that Ferrari's own designer said was better than anything he expected.
🔧 Designed by Giotto Bizzarrini — the man behind the Ferrari 250 GTO
🏎️ Chassis engineered by Giampaolo Dallara — creator of the Lamborghini Miura
⚡ 340 HP American V8 mid-mounted — tested and validated at Monza
💀 Cancelled after just 6 prototypes — killed by accountants, not engineers
AMC hired the two greatest minds in Italian performance engineering, gave them an American V8, and the result embarrassed Ford's Pantera on every single metric. Faster. Stiffer. More aerodynamic. More beautiful.
So why have most people never heard of it?
Watch to find out why one of the greatest supercars ever built never made it to production — and why the automotive world is still haunted by what could have been.
