This DeTomaso Pantera concept has been designed by Daniel Crane of Crane Designs as a modernized version of the iconic vehicle that maintains its original hard-edged wedge shape and more. The vehicle has been modified with updated stylings to give it a more modern appeal, but keeps the various body design details the same to help it appear as a living classic on the roadway. The wheel fenders have been extended with oversized flares, while a handful of cosmetic details have been removed to clean the vehicle up and give it a more minimalist aesthetic.
The DeTomaso Pantera concept maintains a wide-body design that further enhances its modern appeal, while still being able to catch the eye of avid retro race car fans alike.
