The model P72 De Tomaso hypercar was created to commemorate the company's 60th anniversary. The car was designed to look like an Italian sports car. The design features a strong 1960s Italian influence, evident in the sweeping lines, gold features, lights, and exhaust system. Only 72 units will be made, making the car a limited edition model. Each one will have an approximate price point of $845,00 USD.
The De Tomaso hypercar will feature a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, similar to other designs by Norman Choi. Also featured are carbon crash structures, as well as front and back suspension mounts which help to give the car a FIA LMP motorsport rating. The motorsport rating could indicate the car's future on race tracks.
