De Tomaso Pantera GTS


 


 
Today, we have the second De Tomaso of the blog, this a more familiar one (even if we don't really see any of them), the Pantera GT5. Under the bonnet, you find a Ford 5.7l V8 engine with 330bhp. 0-62 takes under 6 seconds and the top speed is 159mph (256km/h)
This isn't the sportier looking Pantera, but I still love the shape of it, and look at the size of these rear tires, I reckon we are looking at least 285/50R15 !!!

  1. fyi this is a GTS model, and under the bonnet you will find the spare wheel etc. the engine is mid mounted and accessed through the deck lid.

    1. Thanks very much for the correction! GT5 seemed odd to me but many online searches on the Pantera returned 'GT5' rather than 'GTS'. Has there been 2 different models or is the 'GT5' a mistaken 'GTS'?
