I didn’t realize DeTomaso made cars all the way till the 90s. The Pantera 90 Si was a completely new Marcello Gandini design with a tubular frame instead of a monocoque, and I am in LOVE with it.
The 90 Si was also the first DeTomaso with a fuel-injected Ford V8 engine (this one was retromodded with a carbureted unit). The interior was largely the same design they’ve always used from the 70s, with better switches and an A/C panel taken from Maserati (which DeTomaso owned at the time). Check out that vertically-mounted radio. Hilarious.
There were only 41 cars made, of which two were crash-tested for certification, and one was kept by the DeTomaso company. So realistically, 38 undamaged cars are in circulation.
