MTX (short for Metalex) is an automobile company in the Czech Republic, that has been previously in Czechoslovakia engaged in the manufacture of racing and formula cars since 1969. Originally, it was a repair shop for Škoda racers. Currently, MTX is engaged in the development of special vehicle modifications, service activities and veteran renovations. The company now has branches in Prague (headquarters), Plzeň (manufacture) and Mělník (autoservis).

The first single-seater formula car ""MTX 1-01" appeared in 1970. During the 1970s and 1980s, Formula Easter cars, autocross buggies and rally cars (based on Škoda and Lada) were produced. In 1989 and 1990, the Škoda Rapid convertible was made in a few copies in cooperation with the German firm Heinzinger. In the 1990s, the company made MTX Roadster (based on Škoda Favorit) and MTX Cabrio (based on Škoda Felicia). Super-sport model named MTX Tatra V8 was made in 1991. Racing cars from Metalex won 14 international titles and almost 100 titles of national champions.[1]
