The wait is over, the De Tomaso P72 finally arrives and it looks incredible

Six years have passed and the new De Tomaso is finally ready for use. Deliveries begin this year.

The revived De Tomaso brand appeared in 2019 with the beautiful P72 prototype, but since then little is known about when the production version would get the green light. Today, that is changing.

De Tomaso has officially unveiled its first road-ready model, with deliveries expected by the end of this year. And, just like the prototype, the P72 looks absolutely stunning.

Visually, the serial P72 is not much different from the original prototype, which is excellent news, reports the Telegraph.

The design is inspired by the 70 De Tomaso P1965, which was created in collaboration between founder Alejandro De Tomaso and Carroll Shelby.

This particular model has a glossy white exterior with rose gold details, including stripes, mirrors, trim, and wheels that are visually similar to the original P70.

The bodywork with pronounced curves rests on a monocoque chassis made from a single piece of carbon fiber, which extends to the front and rear frames.

No gluing, no welding – De Tomaso claims this chassis sets a new standard for structural purity.

The P72's interior is completely devoid of digital gimmicks. No screens, no infotainment system – just a cabin designed for focused driving.

Hand-stitched white leather and carbon fiber cover most surfaces, while impressive analog instruments made from machined aluminum span the entire instrument panel – in a rose gold hue, of course.

The P72 is powered by a 8-liter supercharged V5 engine, which, according to the company, was developed exclusively for this car.

It was previously announced that the engine was based on Ford's Coyote V8 and was modified by Roush – which is likely still the case for this model.

The engine develops 700 horsepower, which is transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

De Tomaso does not publish figures such as acceleration to 100 km/h or top speed, because the P72 is not built for drag racing, but for pure driving excitement.

There are no driving modes, but the car has a suspension with manually adjustable shock absorbers in three levels, so the driver can tailor the ride to his taste.

“P72 is our commitment to reviving a historic brand,” said CEO Norman Choi.

Deliveries of the De Tomaso P72 begin later this year, but pricing has not yet been announced. /Telegraph/
