    DeTomaso Reveal Gorgeous New P72 Supercar At Goodwood

    Back in 1964, Alejandro DeTomaso teamed up with Carroll Shelby and Peter Brock to create the DeTomaso P70 prototype. With an American-built Cobra V8, DeTomaso is definitely one of the most iconic names in the industry. For many years, however, the DeTomaso name has been rather stagnant, only really being remembered by the Pantera but that is all set to change with the revealing of the P72.

    The car will be debuting at Goodwood this weekend and will be based on the chassis of the Apollo Intensa Emozione. The company was taken over by a man called Norman Choi in 2014 and has been putting a lot of thought into building this new car.

    “We digested, we read, we studied. We learned more and more about Alejandro and the incredible achievements that he had attained. In reality, when most people hear the word DeTomaso, the only thing that comes to mind is the Pantera. This is a true icon and the most successful car of the brand. However, our approach is not solely product driven, it is driven by history and the brand,” said Choi speaking to The Drive.

    Despite it being based on the Apollo IE, it will very much be a different car. The P72 will be given a manual transmission and by looking at the pictures, will be much more GT-esque in nature. Engine details and performance figures have not been announced yet, but only 72 units will be made and will set you back €750 000 (approx. R11.8 million).

    Jowyn Wong, the man responsible for the design of the car had this to say: “We intentionally incorporated a distinctive aerodynamically optimized body for performance. And to modernize the aesthetics, while the classic wing mirrors and front emblem cap pays homage to the P70.”

    “Beneath the surface, the interior showcases an elaborated combination of design and exotic materials. Polished copper and diamond pattern detailing adorn the cabin, fashioning a true sense of drama and occasion. The classically designed switchgear and circular analogue display dials take inspiration from the timeless design themes of the ‘60s and ‘70s.”

    It sure is exciting to see the DeTomaso name being brought back, and by the looks of things, it most certainly won’t disappoint.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
