De Tomaso P72: Legendary retro Hypercar goes into series production at the end of 2025
The De Tomaso P72, once presented as a design study in 2019, is now finally going into series production. With a mixture of perfect craftsmanship, retro charm and state-of-the-art technology, De Tomaso is bringing one of the most emotional super sports cars of our time onto the road at the end of 2025.
What was originally intended as a tribute to the P70 from 1965 is now a reality - a vehicle that is both a work of art and a racing machine.
What makes the P72 so special?
The De Tomaso P72 is a super sports car in the classic Le Mans style of the 1960s, packaged in state-of-the-art carbon technology. It combines iconic design with high-end engineering:
Key technical data (as of series version 2025):
Engine: 5.0-liter supercharged V8 from Roush Performance (USA)
Power: approx. 700 hp
Transmission: 6-speed manual gearbox (manual!)
Body: Full carbon monocoque based on LMP1 standards
0-100 km/h: under 3.0 seconds (estimated)
Top speed: over 325 km/h
Production location: Germany (at Capricorn Group)
Limited edition: Strictly limited, less than 100 units planned
Interior: craftsmanship instead of a flood of screens
The interior is deliberately "analog". Instead of touchscreens and digital displays, buyers can expect:
Fine leather, polished copper elements
Mechanical displays in retro style
Visible rivets and exposed shift gate
The interior looks like a work of art from another era - and turns the P72 into a sculpture on wheels.
Design: A tribute to the golden racing era
The exterior appearance is deliberately reminiscent of prototypes from Le Mans in the 1960s:
Long hood, short overhangs
Rounded headlights and "bubble" cockpit
Sculptural mudguards and symmetrical side guides
A truly unique selling point in the age of hypercars, which mostly rely on radical aerodynamics.

Start of series production in 2025: from idea to reality
According to official information from De Tomaso Automobili, series production of the P72 will start at the end of 2025. Production will be carried out by the renowned Capricorn Group in Germany - known for projects such as the Porsche 919 Hybrid.
The target group are collectors, enthusiasts and lovers of classic shapes who do not want to do without modern technology.
Conclusion: The De Tomaso P72 is not a car. It is an attitude.
The P72 is not a performance record-breaker, but a symbol of automotive romance. With its focus on design, craftsmanship and emotionality, it offers a counter-model to the data-driven hypercars of the modern era.
