Yes, but that's not the engine the P72 will come with. That is a V12 out of a Ferrari F12.

Looks sublime if it actualizes.

That's a big question at this point. Capricorn, which was developing both he P72 & P900 has stopped all work on both as De Tomaso stopped paying them back in December. Also work never started on the factory at the Nurburgring that De Tomaso announced they were building a couple years back.

Capricorn? Now that's a name I've not heard of in a long time. Shame what's occurring.

Wow what a tragic story and a waste to bring back the De Tomaso name. The P72 was a beauty and hoping someone will finance this to bring it to production.

What a pity, with so much crap going into production, these traditionally branded masterpieces sometimes fall like many highly complex businesses.

I would be surprised if something eventually doesn't get produced. The car has basically been fully developed by Capricorn at this point.

Looks like they repainted the same prototype again.

 

[Tourbillon]

Well. That's actually quite exquisite. Whst colour is your Detomaso?

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

is that the gas/petrol cap placed on the center of the hood/bonnet? As aesthetically-pleasing as it is, it must be pain in the arse filling it up while trying not to scratch that gorgeous paint.

Wake up babe, P72 update just dropped!

from detomaso_official instagram post:

NEWS: It is with great pleasure that we are officially announcing the long-awaited commencement of the De Tomaso P72 production in the 2H of 2024.

As we embark on this exciting chapter, we look forward to sharing the unparalleled craftsmanship, innovation, and driving experience that we have been able to achieve with our invaluable partner @hwaag_official.

Renowned for their distinguished history in the world of motorsport, HWA have collaborated extensively with the De Tomaso team to position the P72 as one of the most unique vehicles in existence today.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our devoted supporters for standing with us through every milestone. This achievement is a testament to the passion and resilience of the entire De Tomaso community.

Here’s to the culmination of dedication, partnership, and a shared vision for automotive excellence.
We look forward to delivering the first P72 in 2024.

Interesting!

HWA are going to be busy with all these projects if I recall correctly.

That is brilliant news. I love this De Tomaso P72. It is one of my favorite supercars at the moment. One of the only cars to challenge the senses and visual brilliance like the Pagani.

Here's couple of pictures from when the V12 powered prototype was lapping Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on slicks during GT1 Sports Club track sessions.

Looks like they used the same wheels as Apollo IE during testing. These two cars share the tire setup for the road (265/35 R20 - 325/30 R21) and the track only use (27/68 R18 - 31/71 R18).

They just showed the manual shifter on their instagram.

Here's a comparison between the sequential shifter from prototypes, the new manual and a Pagani Utopia manual.
The knob still looks absolutely huge.

Or you could by an Abarth 500 Biposto and get a sexy open gate for the almost nothing compared to these cars.
