Reply to "Is this the new Pantera??"

All Auto makers try to conceal the new body style of a car for as long as humanly possible. The reason is simple. If the new body design is seen by the public, it kills the sales of the existing cars at the dealerships with a body design that is about to be outdated. I get that.

But with the DeTomaso, there hasn't been a sports car coming out of their factory in 20 yrs. I doubt their premature unveiling of the new Pantera will hurt sales of the Pantera SI. lol. So why keep things under wraps? Maybe they are still working on the final touches?

I am sure it will be a nice car. But it doesn't look spectacular from the video, just kind of nice. As others have already said, I would have liked to see the car be a modernized version of the original. Oh well. On the other hand, it is nice to see the DeTomaso brand is being revived. I just wonder with their somewhat dull looking sedan that costs a bundle and a less then spectacular looking sports car priced in the stratasphere, if they will be able to make a go of it?

And yes, I did read somewhere that the DeTomoso factory spokesman said their new sports car will cost around 250,000 Euro. Which translates to around $400,000.00
