Thank goodness that Tosca rendering is a student concept and not what will actually be the new DeTomaso. Without being too unkind to the designer of it, it evokes NOTHING of the heritage or detail of a DeTomaso, and has not an ounce of freshness to it. Every detail is derivative of something already in production and if the new DeTomaso is to have ANY chance at success, it won't happen with generic blender-designs.
The concept for the Gephardo by Tjellesen at least shows some promise and thought. While it lacks the obviousness of the (in my opinion stunning) Panthera concept by Stefan Shulze, it does re-interpret many well-know DeTomaso details such as the Pantera front bumper (original) lines, the Mangusta gull-wing engine covers and the Campagnolo wheels.
