Have you ever seen such a car that is for old-fashioned magic, but beating today's machines at speed? De Tomaso P72 is the same car about which the car and driver recently wrote. In 2019, you saw it as a concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now, after six years, it is ready to hit the streets. The car takes inspiration from the 1965 P70, which was made by De Tomaso boss Alejandro and Carol Shelby.
The look of P72 will remind you of the 60s racing cars. Your mind will be happy to see its round curves and smooth body. This car is made of carbon fiber, which makes it strong on light. If you sit inside, there is no fancy screen, just old style dials and handmade buttons will be found. This is the real fun of driving! Yes, there is definitely a phone holder, which gives a little modern touch. This style will find you different from the rest of the touchscreen supercars.
If you talk about the engine, P72 will shocked you. It has a 5.0-liter V8 engine, which was taken from Ford's coeot, but is specially tuned. With 700 horsepower and 820 newton-meter torque, the car runs like a rocket. Six-speed manual gearbox will thrill you in every shift. If you are fond of driving, then this car is made for you.

Its chassis is also amazing. Monococke chassis of carbon fiber is made in a single piece, which makes it super light and solid. The suspension is such that you can set it according to your own. Its aerodynamics - such as front splitter and rear defuser - keep the car affixed to the road at high speed. While driving you, it will feel as if you are on the race track.
Only 72 p72 cars will be made, and that too in Germany, where the artisans will prepare every car by hand. Every part of carbon fiber will be loving with so much that you will feel it, not a car, there is an art piece. This exclusiveness makes P72 so special.
price? Hey, this is not inexpensive at all. About € 1.6 million, ie about $ 1.78 million. Yes, this is only for those who see the car as a passion. Nevertheless, its look, performance and limited number make it a favorite of collectors.

This comeback of De Tomaso is also amazing. In 2014, Norman Choi raised the brand again. Kovid caused problems, but in collaboration with the German company HWA, he made P72 a reality. This car gives you the power of American V8 and the best combo of European style.
I will just say, P72 is not an ordinary car - this is your passion. Its old look, powerful engine, and handicraft make it special. At the end of 2025, when it is ready for delivery, you can become part of this heritage of de Tomaso.
