After the last failed attempt to revive De Thomas (the Deauville concept was shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011), this Italian brand is preparing for a new return.
The De Tomaso brand is now owned by the Hong Kong-based Ideal Venture, and as a first novelty, a supersport model called the P72 for short was unveiled in 2019 at the Goodwood Speed Festival.
Now it is announced that De Tomaso will develop and produce P72 supercar in the new plant in the Nürburgring, as a result of a new partnership with the Capricorn Group.
New 2023 De Tomaso P72 release date
Construction of the plant is underway, while P72 supercar will enter the final stages of development at the end of the year. Deliveries to the first customers have been announced for the first half of 2023.
The P72 will be powered by a centrally located Ford 5.0-liter V8 engine with more than 700hp and 825Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The P72 is inspired by the P70 racing model from the 1960s (developed in collaboration with Carol Shelby), and uses a carbon fiber chassis.
