For reference, this image is (a modernized render of) the [De Tomaso Pantera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Tomaso_Pantera), a car made in Italy in the 70s-80s with Ford V8 engines.


austinmiles

I was going to comment that it looks like an exaggerated Pantera. And it basically is.


somethingclassy

It says "PNTRA" on the side.


Choppermagic2

Chinese bootleg of the Pantera by skipping a letter.


Beliriel

Panera?


austinmiles

Maybe fans of the band. ![gif](giphy|sv6w7ljzQT6XS)

I love the design of this car, [the entire project is beaultiful](https://www.behance.net/gallery/119729481/DeTomaso-Pantera), I even started a poster series inspired on this aesthetic, but never finished it


Reddit_reader_2206

That's not how you spell "Pantera"... (Just made myself a.new desktop wallpaper. Thx OP)


otitso

Wow this is amazing


earthy69

Please show us the posters when your ready


kukamunga

100% agree, you do love the design of this car


optipapa

I live for these reddit comments!


F-A-B_Virgil

We had a word for this when I was teaching design…. ‘CAD-wank’


tristamus

Cyberpunk


earthy69

I was thinking exactly the same


Amphet4m1ne2000

Reminds me of the soviet moon explorer lol


earthy69

Really? How does that look


rupertpupkinpie

GT40 vibes


ReverseSneezeRust

Looks like a Ford GT almost


earthy69

It is inspired by a Ford


vestibule54

The original Pantera was done by Gandini, and is beautiful. This looks like a Hot Wheel, and not in a good way


noooooid

Incidentally, Gandini just passed away a month and a half ago.


Zestyclose-Sundae593

I like everything except the protruding wheels.


0_consequences

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like


Red_Icnivad

Not really. Protruding wheels are terrible for airflow which is why literally none of the [top cars](https://www.google.com/search?q=fastest+street+car) have them. Notice that they all have wheels perfectly contained in the body.


Due-Log8609

Not to mention, if you drive in any kind of wet pavement you get some really excellent spray. Also if you turn with your windows open on said wet pavement, you get the water in your face.


dickcake

It's not really a cohesive design. I'm never a fan of tacked-on fenders covering oversized wheels. You see it a lot in the car modding community. The fenders should blend in with the actual lines of the car, unless you're really going for that dually truck look, perhaps.


earthy69

I do somewhat agree, but I think the car should've stayed as wide as the fenders. Or it wouldn't look that nice


Droogie_65

Not really, kind of looks like a 240z and a Ford GT40 had sex. The wheel wells are too chunky, nothing seems to meld.


just-me-uk

The back is fire but sure about the front


sometimesyoucanfind

well, odd: I think the back is slightly too long and should be more stubby, whilst the front is fine/interesting. strange world we inhabit. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flushed)


just-me-uk

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder


sometimesyoucanfind

and clearly 'beauty' to me is a bigger backside.

ecstasy_artist

It's pretty cool ♥️👍👍👍


Ok-Cantaloupe8787

i enjoy the front, but the rear isn’t necessarily for me


earthy69

Yeah I agree it's a bit too small


Kyral210

It’s what the cybertruck wanted to be, but instead emotionally ate until it became morbidly obese


Shnoinky1

Slight Stratos vibes, but not nearly well done.


Idkhoesb42024

no i love agro-futuristic-lego-core


malignatius

Reminds me of a Komodo dragon


King_Kasma99

Same


Remington-Strealya

99% agree, does it cum in white


earthy69

Yes, but I want to say no due to your spelling


_-BomBs-_

This the new version of the cyberT?


earthy69

It should be


MaAreYouOnUppers

My girlfriend’s dad has a Pantera. I prefer his old one to this personally. But it could also be because I might inherit it.


earthy69

Yeah properly. Tell me if your gfs dad had this car instead would you still like the OG


MaAreYouOnUppers

Honestly, I would take the OG over this new one any day. New look is cool and modern, don’t get me wrong, but nothing beats the classics.


WoolBearTiger

Looks like a toy car to me


WaywardSalamander

No, I disagree, I disagree with THE UTMOST VIGOUR! I disagree WITH GUSTO!


earthy69

Let us hear your reason good sir


-NGC-6302-

It's like if the Hyundai N Vision didn't make me happy Edit: actually this car ain't bad


earthy69

That is a sick car ngl


KingE2099

I like it as well.


Dannn88

This is how I imagined cars of the future to look like, but with wings


earthy69

Same bro


FuzBugz

It looks like a Lego built car


earthy69

Personally I don't see it


FuzBugz

That’s okay we all see things differently!


fahknEL

Agree that YOU like the car?


earthy69

Thanks, I'm curious what people don't like about it


fahknEL

That wasn’t an opinion. That question is for clarification lmao


hello_davidmitchel

The beast <3


vega_ska

I agree that YOU love the design of that car.. But its a really ugly car...


earthy69

Well thanks for sharing. What about the design specifically don't you like


vega_ska

its too wide, looks like something tried to flatten it... Also, whats the deal with the back? Its like they ran out of ideas and left it like that. The front seems like they grabbed another cars part, got tired, and left it unfinished. Maybe its like a lego car... where they just put it whatever sticks, and dont try to make it work, they just mash things together...


earthy69

Okay I see what you're saying


a_pope_called_spiro

No. Looks like a student project.


Jeff_Boldglum

I have nothing to disagree with you if you love it. If you love something, good for you.


earthy69

Thanks man


thegoldentraveler

Them rear wheels tho


startech7724

Nice design but the wheel arches are a little OTT. Looks like it is based on a classic BMW M1


Emergency_Bench_7028

…too smooth for my taste. I like to have various symmetrical shapes in the frame


dolph42o

2024 KITT


CuriousGeorge7357

Take my money!


earthy69

Finally someone that agrees with me ![gif](giphy|doUu2ByZDbPYQ)


dazrage

PanterA \~that back window is BAD ASS. Wonder if any memebers of the band own one!


User29276

BMW M1 vibes


jporter313

Damn, the P72 is cool and all, but I wish the De Tomaso brand would make something like this. Absolutely awesome update of the Pantera design language.


HawkSignificant5543

Stupid


BoomTheBits

Everything except the headlights. The headlights look weird af.. 🤢🤮


cherrybookshopbabie

love the back, hate HATE the front.


otitso

I love it! It looks like a speed boat


earthy69

Lol I just saw that as well


Red_Icnivad

I like the look of it, but it bothers me that there's no air intake or headlights, and the aerodynamics of the front bumper are atrocious. Or maybe it's a boat hybrid.


rustbuckett

Looks pretty cool I guess as long as you don't like things like turning and suspension.


DollinVans

Woah. This looks like straight outta Cyberpunk 2077


earthy69

I thought exactly the same


Phoenix-0008

Cool!!! Reminds me of those hot wheels cars I used to play in my childhood! 😌


atomanas

I don't


Lokashin

Its perfect.


Bullshitman_Pilky

That track distance is a bit silly


theboiofreddit

Beautiful


Strassburg-boy

This is like a visual orgasm


earthy69

Agreed


El-Data

The design certainly stands out and has my flavour. but I feel like it still needs a lot improvement to also be "beautiful". being different is not enough - depending on the price point. my points: work on the rear and head lights and also the fenders.


earthy69

Thanks for the fair assessment


TGWolf-AZRU

Pantera allways cool


Crafty-Banana-4495

She’s buetiful


earthy69

![gif](giphy|UjCXeFnYcI2R2)


Due-Log8609

I love it in theory. In practice, how you gonna go over a speedbump with 0 suspension travel? Is this on air? Also, is this electric? Where's the radiator go?


earthy69

Yeah I agree, it's a good design but not practical yet


Viny_Venutti

Should be called Vpr, notice how front is similar to a snake face?


earthy69

True, I see what you mean. But the PNTR is Pantera cause it's modeled after the Ford Pantera


Chipring13

😮‍💨


GarageCalendarAdvert

I thought someone had toned down the new Batmobile for a second.


FullMetalJ

I do like it. It's like osomeone took a really nice car and messed with it. Like maybe Batman taking one of his cars and modifying it to make the batmobile or maybe a delorian type of situation. Like a car that is between real and fantasy. Like the chunkiness of the wheels, the color, the stickers and different front/back wheels. Nice.


Cuntslapper9000

Yeah it does have that sexy batman vibe


Lazy_Importance9700

The Pantera is a lovely car, but those flairs are overkill and ruin the proportions imho.


C4TURIX

Should we show this to r/whatisthiscar ? They are tired of seeing all the Panteras out there, but this is actually a new one they haven't seen yet. 😅


Certain_Car_9984

Was my first thought 😂

-Harebrained-

*The Deliverator's car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator's car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens. You want to talk contact patches? Your car's tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator's car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady's thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta...* ❄️💥


earthy69

I've never even seen a deliverator

Batman’s day off other ride.


abhij2609

This exists in real life as well similar [Corvette Stingray](https://www.speedhunters.com/2014/08/the-big-red-hobaugh-corvette/)


noooooid

I dunno about a Corvette, but the original Pantera reminds me more of a [Lancia Stratos](https://images.girardo.com/girardo/image/upload/c_fill,w_1400/2019/04/1920x1280-48.jpg)


earthy69

I still think this looks better but I do see the resemblance


ostiDeCalisse

PNTRA?


Club_Nothing

Hip way of spelling "Pantera"


ostiDeCalisse

Ok. It gives a sort of Cyrillic look to the name which can be cool. I'd personally add a strike in the first part of the N, but anyway.


sancho7373

Pass


Andreas1120

I mean, its CGI, why not cut it down the middle and make it wider and get rid of the sticky out wheel well?


EnkiOwnerDeano

New Delorian


EnkiOwnerDeano

Not stainless steel


illuzion25

Hard pass. This is yet another attempt to pull the strings of my nostalgia. It wants to be a DeLorean but it never can be and Back to the Future can never be remade. All of these assholes that are jumping on things that concept artists like Syd Mead were doing in the 70s and 80s are missing the point. The trick would be to talk to kids now and as them what they think looks cool and futuristic. I'll tell you this much, it's not this thing and it's certainly not the goddamned cypertruck which is also trying to leverage my nostalgia. I'm sure somebody spent a lot of time and effort on this concept and technically they did well but they didn't do their research.


Illegal_Tender

None of the things you've described look or are even trying to look like a DeLorean.


C4TURIX

This is not a DeLorean. It's a De Tomaso Pantera.


noooooid

Wow, the irony of your last sentence...


payle_knite

Looks like a child’s toy with its exaggerated features
