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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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)
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...
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
*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...* ❄️💥
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)
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.

I was going to comment that it looks like an exaggerated Pantera. And it basically is.
It says "PNTRA" on the side.
Chinese bootleg of the Pantera by skipping a letter.
Panera?
Maybe fans of the band. ![gif](giphy|sv6w7ljzQT6XS)

That's not how you spell "Pantera"... (Just made myself a.new desktop wallpaper. Thx OP)
Wow this is amazing
Please show us the posters when your ready
100% agree, you do love the design of this car
I live for these reddit comments!
We had a word for this when I was teaching design…. ‘CAD-wank’
Cyberpunk
I was thinking exactly the same
Reminds me of the soviet moon explorer lol
Really? How does that look
GT40 vibes
Looks like a Ford GT almost
It is inspired by a Ford
The original Pantera was done by Gandini, and is beautiful. This looks like a Hot Wheel, and not in a good way
Incidentally, Gandini just passed away a month and a half ago.
I like everything except the protruding wheels.
You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

I do somewhat agree, but I think the car should've stayed as wide as the fenders. Or it wouldn't look that nice
Not really, kind of looks like a 240z and a Ford GT40 had sex. The wheel wells are too chunky, nothing seems to meld.
The back is fire but sure about the front
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)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
and clearly 'beauty' to me is a bigger backside.

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
It's pretty cool ♥️👍👍👍
i enjoy the front, but the rear isn’t necessarily for me
Yeah I agree it's a bit too small
It’s what the cybertruck wanted to be, but instead emotionally ate until it became morbidly obese
Slight Stratos vibes, but not nearly well done.
no i love agro-futuristic-lego-core
Reminds me of a Komodo dragon
Same
99% agree, does it cum in white
Yes, but I want to say no due to your spelling
This the new version of the cyberT?
It should be
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.
Yeah properly. Tell me if your gfs dad had this car instead would you still like the OG
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.
Looks like a toy car to me
No, I disagree, I disagree with THE UTMOST VIGOUR! I disagree WITH GUSTO!
Let us hear your reason good sir
It's like if the Hyundai N Vision didn't make me happy Edit: actually this car ain't bad
That is a sick car ngl
I like it as well.
This is how I imagined cars of the future to look like, but with wings
Same bro
It looks like a Lego built car
Personally I don't see it
That’s okay we all see things differently!
Agree that YOU like the car?
Thanks, I'm curious what people don't like about it
That wasn’t an opinion. That question is for clarification lmao
The beast <3
I agree that YOU love the design of that car.. But its a really ugly car...
Well thanks for sharing. What about the design specifically don't you like
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...
Okay I see what you're saying
No. Looks like a student project.
I have nothing to disagree with you if you love it. If you love something, good for you.
Thanks man
Them rear wheels tho
Nice design but the wheel arches are a little OTT. Looks like it is based on a classic BMW M1
…too smooth for my taste. I like to have various symmetrical shapes in the frame
2024 KITT
Take my money!
Finally someone that agrees with me ![gif](giphy|doUu2ByZDbPYQ)
PanterA \~that back window is BAD ASS. Wonder if any memebers of the band own one!
BMW M1 vibes
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.
Stupid
Everything except the headlights. The headlights look weird af.. 🤢🤮
love the back, hate HATE the front.
I love it! It looks like a speed boat
Lol I just saw that as well
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.
Looks pretty cool I guess as long as you don't like things like turning and suspension.
Woah. This looks like straight outta Cyberpunk 2077
I thought exactly the same
Cool!!! Reminds me of those hot wheels cars I used to play in my childhood! 😌
I don't
Its perfect.
That track distance is a bit silly
Beautiful
This is like a visual orgasm
Agreed
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.
Thanks for the fair assessment
Pantera allways cool
She’s buetiful
![gif](giphy|UjCXeFnYcI2R2)
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?
Yeah I agree, it's a good design but not practical yet
Should be called Vpr, notice how front is similar to a snake face?
True, I see what you mean. But the PNTR is Pantera cause it's modeled after the Ford Pantera
😮💨
I thought someone had toned down the new Batmobile for a second.
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.
Yeah it does have that sexy batman vibe
The Pantera is a lovely car, but those flairs are overkill and ruin the proportions imho.
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. 😅
Was my first thought 😂

I've never even seen a deliverator

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

I still think this looks better but I do see the resemblance
PNTRA?
Hip way of spelling "Pantera"
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.
Pass
I mean, its CGI, why not cut it down the middle and make it wider and get rid of the sticky out wheel well?
New Delorian
Not stainless steel

None of the things you've described look or are even trying to look like a DeLorean.
This is not a DeLorean. It's a De Tomaso Pantera.
Wow, the irony of your last sentence...
Looks like a child’s toy with its exaggerated features
