De Tomaso P72 V12 Supercar at Goodwood 2019

[STYRENE-SURFER]

Somehow I missed the boat on this incredible car when it was presented.

It just popped up on my youtube suggested videos thingy.

Love the voluptuous 1960's styling with that wonderful Red w/gold brightwork.

Sexy!  Don't care for the wheels however, particularly the copper finish.   Looks like a modern interpretation of the Ferrari P330.

Perhaps true gold plating would have pushed the car too far over the super car price threshold ?

That P330 does have painted gold wheels after all and the look has always been one I liked.

I do prefer cars with hips, even some American cars can claim that ?? well, not many really.

Lovely cars, the De Tomaso as well as the Ferrari.

Sorry, I got carried away ?

I would not refuse to test drive one that’s for sure.  ?

I wonder if anyone will do a model kit. ?

The diecast is pretty but $$$.

I would test drive it IF I could get in it .

Sweet machine, however when they swing around the rear from 3/4 view to full on rear shot I think of a '59 Buick.  Maybe it is just my bifocals playing tricks on me.
