Basic Is Back: Here Are the De Tomaso P72's Best Throwback Details
The latest car news, reviews, and features. De Tomaso is back with a new production-spec supercar called the P72. Pretty much everybody loves it, and for good reason—it's gorgeous. Not only that, but it's a staunchly old-school affair, rocking a 700-horsepower, 605 lb-ft supercharged 5.0-liter cross-plane Ford Coyote V8 that's been tuned by Roush and mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Officially billed as 'a tribute to an era when man and machine moved in perfect harmony,' this glorious, screen-free exercise in nostalgia is stubbornly analog in its details, too; you could almost call it basic. But, if you haven't heard, basic is cool again. Here are four refreshingly throwback touches on the P72 that deserve to make a comeback on performance cars that aren't Italian carbon unobtanium. The inclusion of a manual gearbox would be analog enough on its own, but De Tomaso went several steps further by blessing the P72 with a shifter linkage that's completely and beautifully exposed. De Tomaso Granted, that other boutique Italian supercar maker Pagani has been doing similar shifters for a while, but it doesn't make the P72's setup any less glorious. Also, there's something to be said about this one's swoopy, very extra, almost art deco brushed-bronze style that you don't get with the Paganis. Like pretty much every performance car post-S2000 and every car period post, like, 2012, the P72 appears to feature push-button start. Note the 'START' button in the center of the row of five located below the three analog dials (more on those later). Look to the left of this, however, is something many modern drivers have not seen in a while: a slot for a key. Top Gear got hands-on with this car and detailed the start-up process: Place the leather-lined key fob into the little triangular recessed section aft of the gear knob and press down. Remove the milled physical key into the steering-column slot and twist. Press the START button. Unnecessary? Yes. Convoluted? Sure, maybe a little. Cool as hell? You bet. De Tomaso As another wholly unnecessary but pointed design decision, the P72 dedicates a whole lot of dashboard real estate to three analog gauges measuring oil pressure, oil temperature, and battery voltage. It's a classic race car layout stemming from an era of mostly endurance racers in which keeping an eye on that stuff really mattered. It trickled into road-going performance cars around the '60s and stuck around for a while, but these days, its inclusion is mostly a nostalgia play. The old Datsun 240Z famously had a rendition of this, as did every Z car that followed, including the new one you can likely find at your local Nissan dealer. So, yeah, there's one thing the new Nissan Z has in common with the De Tomaso P72. Arguably popularized by the likes of BMW and later adopted by almost every new car available no matter how pedestrian, drive modes surprisingly aren't a thing with the P72. Granted, the push-rod suspension system features dampers that are manually adjustable, but that's it. No knobs or buttons that alter throttle response, steering weight, or how red your gauges are. You just get in it and drive. On specs and facts alone, De Tomaso's new baby sounds like it'll be a car you'll want to drive, too, 'cause it's built around a carbon unibody monocoque, the entire body is also carbon, and its Ford-sourced V8 is assembled by hand and is said to feature a header design inspired by the '60s. The six-speed manual's gear ratios were tuned for entertaining in-gear performance, not top speed. True to its name, only 72 of these things will ever be made, but between this and that one electric truck everybody won't stop talking about, basic is back and hopefully the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini will jump on the bandwagon soon.

Pagani Huayra Epitome And Imola Track Special debut At Villa D'Este
On May 23 at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este the firm will present its latest engineering test bed, ... More the Imola, and also its first manual transmission Huayra, produced in collaboration with its Grandi Complicazioni atelier. Seen here, the Imola Pagani always wants to make a splash on home turf. On May 23 at Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este the firm will present its latest engineering test bed, the Imola, and also its first manual transmission Huayra, produced in collaboration with its Grandi Complicazioni atelier. mola's considerable power comes from the 6-liter twin-turbo V12 engineered and built in ... More collaboration with the naughty schoolboys of Affalterbach, Mercedes-AMG. Note the aggressive wing, massive rear diffuser, side skirting, and air intake. First, the Imola, named for the famous Italian racetrack and created as a test bed for subsystems and engineering concepts to employ in future Pagani models. With such low production volumes and the commercial need to create rare batches to please clients, Pagani has produced engineering 'pull-forwards' like the Zonda R that informed the Huayra, and the Huayra R track car and Huayra BC that pulled forward materials and suspension design for the third-generation Pagani, the Utopia. Only five editions of the Imola will be built, guaranteeing its collectability. Mercedes-AMG's V12 delivers 827 horsepower. The engine also spools up 811 lb.-ft. of torque (1,100 ... More Nm in the European measure). Power is delivered through Pagani's unique development of an Xtrac 7-speed semi-auto gearbox. So paddleshifting is the order of the day, executed in milliseconds, exactly what one wants on-track. Aero masterpiece. Imola's considerable power comes from the 6-liter twin-turbo V12 engineered and built in collaboration with the naughty schoolboys of Affalterbach, Mercedes-AMG. The engine has the ultimate build quality and engineering depth of Mercedes-AMG paired with the Italian passion of Pagani. The car companies able to match the engineering skill and depth of Mercedes and Mercedes-AMG can be counted on one hand, and you don't need all five digits. Pagani Imola cockpit. Note flat-bottom steering wheel to improve clearance for thighs, ease entry. ... More Interior is simple by Pagani standards, saving weight. Without oil and fuel, Imola tips the scales at 2,748 lb.

That means without oil and fuel, Imola tips the scales at 2,748 lb. (1,246 kilos), thanks to its composite chassis. Horacio Pagani started working with composites when employed at Lamborghini more than three decades ago, and eventually established his own composites manufacturing company which provides lightweight components to the automotive and aerospace industries, and also defense industry. Pagani composite is as advanced as any in the world. Pagani Imola interior. Even the Acquarello Light paintwork is ultra-light weight, shaving 11 lbs. off the car. With fuel and oil onboard, perhaps add 150 pounds. But Imola is still well under 3000 pounds, comparable or superior to other track-day exotic specials, even with the weight of a semi-auto gearbox. Lower weight helps not just with acceleration and top speed, but most importantly for a track car, with cornering turn-in precision. A lighter car can simply change direction with greater ease. Pagani Imola features an electronically controlled and fully interconnected system of active dampers ... More (shock absorbers for those of us in the U.S.). Front suspension ride height can be adjusted for driving conditions working through a central black box, the 'super brain' that assimilates data from all other related black boxes controlling the engine, differential and gearshift functions. Pagani Imola uses the active aerodynamics system introduced on the Huayra. Four winglets move and adjust according to the needs of the moment, reducing aero downforce at higher speeds, generating greater downforce in cornering, and serving as an air brake.

Also debuting at Villa d'Este is another Huayra Epitome from the firm's Grandi Complicazioni, a service that works hand-in-glove with customers to produce supercars with one-off esthetics. Each project in Grandi Complicazioni is a unique journey taken by the client and a dedicated designer. Pagani imposes no limits to the effort in shapes, materials, colors, finishes. Both the Huayra Epitome seen here and the Imola were born from this approach. Epitome is the first and only Huayra equipped with a manual transmission, for a pure mechanical ... More driving experience. This car is the first Huayra equipped with Pagani's Xtrac manual transmission. Yes, you must know how to work the third pedal to the left. This Huayra Epitome wears all-new front and rear bumper shapes, and the front hood has exclusive light clusters and a new wheel arch air extraction system, and the rear hood with oversized side conveyors and integrated wing. The front end features a new bumper with an integrated splitter, designed at the customer's request to increase downforce, accelerating airflow to the inner radiator ducts. The wider mouth allows more airflow to the new inner ducts, optimizing aerodynamics and improving the efficiency of the front radiators. The light units are also exclusive to this vehicle: the Huayra Epitome is the only Pagani one-off to feature four light units installed on the front hood and two DRL elements installed on the bumper. The rear has been completely redesigned following the requests from the client, who wanted a hood with an integrated wing. A new aerodynamic cover for the rear lights has also been designed to reduce airflow resistance, extending the laminar boundary layer over the hood and giving an aggressive and unique look to the car's rear. This car is the first Huayra equipped with Pagani's Xtrac manual transmission. Yes, you must know ... More how to work the third pedal to the left. The shift linkage is exposed, and refined like pieces in a musical jewelry box. Perhaps in response to demands from those of us in California, where the roads in urban and suburban areas can be truly horrendous, Pagani has added a super-soft mode thanks to the active suspension. The button is located in the cabin on the central tunnel, to be activated when driving on rough roads for extra comfort. Above 93 mph (150 kph), the damper setting returns to its normal condition, depending on the driving mode selected. A supercar is not much fun if your kidneys are being punched. This is a brilliant use of adjustable dampers. Pagani Huayra Epitome one-off developed with Pagani's Grandi Complicazioni atelier. Both cars will be on view at Concorso d/Eleganza Villa d'Este, Lake Como, on May 23 to May 25. Also debuting at Villa d'Este is another Huayra Epitome from the firm's Grandi Complicazioni, a ...
