Alejandro De Tomaso's Pantera, the iconic Italian-American sports
car was born from a desire to create a high-performance, mid-engine
thoroughbred that could compete with the likes of Ferrari and
Lamborghini.
The Pantera's genesis can be traced back to a collaboration between
the Argentinean entrepreneur with a passion for racing, and Ford
Motor Company which could provide funding, horsepower, and U.S.
distribution for his new creation. The result was a unique fusion
of Italian design and American muscle, as the Pantera boasted a
Ford 351 V8 engine and was retailed through Ford's massive
Lincoln-Mercury dealership network.
The unexpected exotic offered a sleek appearance from Carrozzeria
Ghia with a low-slung body and pop-up headlights, while its
mid-rear-engine layout ensured improved handling and balance.
