Get a Glimpse of the Ultra-Rare De Tomaso P72 Hypercar
Over half a decade ago, De Tomaso previewed an astonishing concept dubbed the P72. The production version is now here, nearly unchanged from the beautiful machine we saw at Goodwood. Six-figure supercars aren't anything new, but this one's aesthetics put the usual suspects to shame Concept cars are easy. Without pesky things like safety standards or emissions to worry about, OEMs can get the public's eyeballs on some truly shapely sheet metal. Often, those aforementioned restrictions — or, worse, production costs — significantly tone down the car when it's time to bring it to market. In a delightful change of pace, De Tomaso pulled the sheet off its anticipated P72 to reveal a road-going version that largely mirrors the voluptuous vehicle we first viewed in 2019. De Tomaso P72 De Tomaso P72 De Tomaso P72 This De Tomaso P72 is production-ready, and it's a beautiful thing De Tomaso, a manufacturer you likely know from the V8-powered and exotically styled Pantera, debuted the P72 as it celebrated its 60th anniversary at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2019. It took five years to develop, and finally, after six additional years, De Tomaso has given us a look at what the final production car will look like. Unlike many concept cars, the De Tomaso P72 retains much of what made it so initially eye-catching, including an extremely low-slung body, swan-necked mirrors, and an impossibly short front overhang. A full carbon fiber body hides a carbon fiber chassis, keeping weight down and rigidity high. That likely means the De Tomaso P72's charms are more than skin deep. The looks alone promise a good time, but even just a glance at the spec sheet might have you sweating. A hand-assembled 5.0-liter V8 (Ford-derived, just like the Pantera) sits behind the driver. With help from a supercharger, the mill produces 700 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque. De Tomaso says the engine sports forged internals and unique headers, ensuring it has a unique character despite its apparently pedestrian origins. A short-ratio six-speed manual transaxle is the only gearbox offered, and the P72 is rear-wheel drive. A push-rod suspension system with manually-adjustable dampers completes what De Tomaso promises to be a 'raw and expressive' driving experience. De Tomaso P72 De Tomaso P72 De Tomaso P72 at Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2019 De Tomaso calls the P72 'an analog statement in a digital world' The Pantera's successor leans heavily into the relationship between driver and machine. Need proof? Check out the car's cockpit, which offers Pagani and Spyker levels of mechanical switch gear satisfaction. An exposed gear selector linkage, analog gauges with beautifully crafted milled aluminum bezels, and hand-stitched leather adorning the seats, steering wheel, and dashboard are just a few of the touches that set the P72 apart. As the manufacturer puts it, 'free from screens, no infotainment, no overlays, no distractions.' We love it, and we're willing to bet the 72 lucky owners that get to take home this homage to mechanical magnificence will, too. Final thoughts We're not sure how many of the 72 examples of the De Tomaso P72 are spoken for, but the automaker claims each one will be extensively customized, tailored exactly to its owner's specifications. Back in 2019, De Tomaso claimed each one would cost 'around €750,000,' roughly $840,000 USD. We'll have to start saving our pennies. In the meantime, we'll play around with the De Tomaso configurator. You know…just so we're ready to order. De Tomaso says deliveries will begin later this year.

De Tomaso P72: Manual, screen-free supercar thumbs its nose at modern age
Six years after the concept was revealed, De Tomaso has finally revealed the production-ready version of its new P72 supercar. The P72 rides on a bespoke platform made from carbon-fibre woven in a 4×4 twill weave to a form a single piece for the central monocoque, as well as the front and rear subframes. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. As for the exterior, its design is inspired by the P70 race car from the late 1960s. The body is also made from carbon-fibre, and can be finished in a choice of "heritage-inspired" paint options or with exposed carbon weave. Despite the long gestation period, the P72 is almost indistinguishable from the 2019 concept car. There are some subtle tweaks to the lower air intake, and lower aero package. Perhaps the biggest change is to the car's wraparound glass canopy, which now includes now small roll down window section. On the inside, the centre tunnel is wider and the area around the exposed gearbox shifter linkages is more open than before, but otherwise the cabin stays true to the concept's analogue ethos. While the car's design, construction and engineering relies heavily on modern digital processes, the cabin is a throwback to an earlier analogue time as there are no screens, infotainment or otherwise, to be found. An integrated mobile phone holder is the interior's one nod to modernity, but it's there primarily for navigation purposes because there's no audio system to connect to. There's a huge array of dials ahead of the driver, and in the centre of the dashboard. Milled aluminium, either bead-blasted, hand-brushed, or hand-polished, is used extensively throughout for the dials, buttons, knobs, gear shifter, and other touch points. Behind the passenger cell is the vehicle's sole soundtrack system, a 5.0-litre V8 – thought to be from Ford – that's fitted with new forged internals and a De Tomaso supercharger. It makes 522kW of power and 820Nm of torque, and drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. De Tomaso hasn't provided any performance figures for the P72. The company says top speed wasn't the focus, but rather the car is tuned for "exhilarating in-gear performance" and to be "immediate, responsive, and emotionally rewarding". The P72 rides on a pushrod suspension system. Although there no selectable drive modes, the P72 does feature three-way manually adjustable dampers. The car revealed here is an "internal production specification unit", and isn't one of the 72 production vehicles that will be delivered to customers. No pricing for the P72 has been publicly announced, but given the high levels of craftsmanship and extensive personalisation in each car, it will probably make Australian housing stock seem cheap and affordable. Most remember De Tomaso for its Mangusta and Pantera supercars, but in the mid-1970s it took over Maserati, and was responsible for its push into BMW territory with the Biturbo, and its offspring. After selling off Maserati and Innocenti in 1993, the brand largely lay dormant until it was revived briefly to, once again, take on BMW. That effort died when Gian Mario Rossignolo, the company's owner, was arrested and sent to jail for misappropriating government funds taken to revive De Tomaso. The current iteration of De Tomaso was purchased by Hong Kong businessman Norman Choi in 2014.
