    Had a poster of this car on my wall as a kid. Joining it was a Lotus Esprit, a DMC-12, and one of the ZZ-Top hotrods.
    I saw a white one at the mall once. He saw 10-year old me all excited as he slowly rolled by, he smiled and gave it a huge loud rev that echoed off the building and had everyone looking around. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Whoever you were, thank you!

    Alejandro De Tomaso was originally an Argentine cattle farmer and race car driver. However, he always had a dream of building his own line of performance cars, so he moved to Italy in 1955 to do just that. In 1959, the De Tomaso company was founded with the idea of svelte Italian bodywork and reliable American motivation (mainly the Ford 351 cu. Windsor). The only other firm I know of to employ the same method is Iso with the Chevrolet 327 cu. and 427 cu. V8s Besides the Pantera, notable De Tomaso products include the Mangusta, Vallelunga, and the Longchamp.

    Most know the Cleveland engines were introduced in 1970, long after the Windsor, the line was killed off many years earlier than the Windsor. What’s interesting is the Cleveland lived on for many more years in Australia, and that’s actually where these engines were sourced for the Pantera. An incredible series of engines

    Pantera's are one of a kind. Still underrated by many auto enthusiasts to this day. True classic.
    I don't know how anyone could take a look at any other Italian supercar of the same era and call the tasteful Pantera "tacky"?
    And what did they have against analog gages? Motor enthusiasts, then and now, generally prefer the more workmanlike appearance of analog gauges. By 1987 a good many manufacturers had replaced the Atari like displays on even their higher end sport model cars and luxury sport coupes with analog because it is what buyers wanted.

    It's always nice to know that there used to be a time when 5.5 was "blistering". Today's 0-60 wars are getting ridiculous.
    I saw one of these as a teenager at the local Sonic drive-in where all the cool kids used to hang out. Literally had 20 high school kids surrounding the car. It was very, very cool.

    5.5 sec to 60 is about as fast as my 2017 Buick LaCrosse, or a Ford Fusion sport. And the Buick gets good gas mileage. How times have changed!

    The Pantera is awesome, and for the late '80s, those numbers are awesome, too. My '11 CTS AWD Performance will do 0-60mph in 5.9 seconds. That's with a 3.6-liter V6 making 4 more horses and weighing well north of 4,000 lbs. All I'm saying is that we've come a long way, and I'd love both in my driveway.

      I completely agree, look at a factory GT-5S, this all color coded trim was something that Kirk Evens did which looks absolutely hideous.

    300hp was unheard of no one had a car with that kind of power, if you did it was a race car. This is a race car. A lot of cars today may have the power but they don't have the look or feel of an icon. The only alternative to a supercar like this is a corvette or a mustang.

      That's what i thought, an 80s Glam band before their heavier material, with someone other than Phil on vocals.

    Spoiler is nothing like the one on the Lamborghini, assuming you mean a Countach then you must be completely blind because the Countach spoiler is shaped like a boomerang this one is straight across. Did you see the bottom of the car flex up towards the roof when it took the turn and nearly flipped over, it definitely had one wheel cocked off the ground. These were such cool cars back in the day and still today but man I wouldn't want to get in a crash in one of them there would be nothing left
