De Tomaso P72: the first customer supercar arrives with 700 hp and no screens at all

The P72 arrives in Aurelian Night with Rose Gold wheels, a Roush-tuned supercharged Ford V8 producing 700 hp, a six-speed manual and zero screens inside. Just 72 will be built.

De Tomaso has finally completed the first customer P72. The car is finished in Aurelian Night with Rose Gold wheels and looks like a modern take on 1960s racing prototypes, only with a price tag from the hypercar world: around €1.6 million, or roughly $1.8 million.

The P72’s defining feature is its uncompromising analogue approach. There are no screens, no infotainment system and none of the usual digital overload inside. Instead you get classic analogue dials, milled metal switchgear, an exposed manual gear linkage and three pedals. Against the backdrop of modern supercars, where almost every function has migrated to a display, this approach no longer reads as retro — it reads almost as a manifesto.

Under the bodywork sits a 5.0-litre Ford Coyote V8, familiar from the Mustang but heavily reworked by De Tomaso together with Roush Performance. The supercharged version delivers around 700 hp and 820 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox with short ratios. Drive goes to the rear wheels.

The body is made of carbon fibre, while the chassis is a single-piece carbon monocoque with no bonded joints. The design nods to the P70 racing prototype of the 1960s, and the P72 itself is a strictly limited run: just 72 cars, all of which are already accounted for. For De Tomaso this isn’t simply another expensive project, but an attempt to bring the brand back to the world of cars where what matters is not screen size, but sound, mechanics and the feel of handcrafted work.

The P72 took a long road to production, which is exactly why the first customer car feels like a milestone. De Tomaso has shown that the analogue supercar it once promised hasn’t been left as a beautiful concept.
