The X has nothing to do with it being experimental. It is it's "Check Digit". When the Check digit = 0 or 10 'X' is used. No mystery. On average 10% of all production cars have an X. I see people selling corvettes on Ebay claiming the have a prototype only to find out their check digit = 10.

Thats almost funny.
