[1] After it passed driving tests at the Tatra polygon races at Kopřivnice, at the airport in Mošnov and at the Autodrom Most, it was finally introduced to the public in October 1991 at the auto show in Prague.
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.
[2] 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.
