The De Tomaso story
The revived De Tomaso programme connects a historical Italian performance-car name with the modern P72 road car and P900 track project. The P72’s flowing body and elaborately presented cabin take a deliberately different visual route from aggressively angular contemporary hypercars. P900 applies related design language to a separate circuit brief, with its engine specification evolving during development.
The revival is interesting when the historical references inform a coherent new car rather than stand in for one. We are drawn to P72’s relative visual restraint, while recognising that appearance cannot establish how a car operates. P900 deserves its own account of support, durability and repeatable track use, rather than being treated as a higher trim level of the road car.
Current lineup & programmes
Performance and specialist model families are listed below. Programme status describes the manufacturer’s published range or announcement, rather than stock or an available allocation. Open-top and special derivatives are grouped where they share a family; follow the model link for the distinctions.

Past models
Past performance-car families relevant to our 1996–2026 archive. A surviving product page or conversion catalogue does not mean the original donor car remains in production.
This is a young programme without a separate completed road-model generation in our thirty-year archive. The current family and its development history are the starting point.
The SuperCarNews view
The P72 uses flowing, historically referential bodywork to frame a modern specialist road-car programme. De Tomaso's production updates distinguish it from the P900 track programme. The latter's February 2026 engine announcement also illustrates why an early prototype specification should not be repeated indefinitely after development changes.
We find the P72's visual restraint refreshing within a category that often equates aggression with credibility. Curved surfaces and a carefully composed cabin can communicate ambition without adopting the appearance of a competition prototype. Whether the car's operation sustains that elegance remains a separate question.
P900 offers a different brief. Its track focus makes the support programme and repeatable circuit operation especially important. Our coverage keeps those priorities distinct from the road car's, even when a shared design language encourages readers to view them as a single ladder of performance.
