2023 DeTomaso P900

De Tomaso Automobili, the latest manufacturer of ultra-high performance emotionally-driven hypercars, has unveiled the exterior design of their latest model – the De Tomaso P900, aptly named after the dry-weight of the vehicle (900 kg).

The two-seater track only variant serves to deliver an authentic LMP-style driving experience when it arrives in Summer 2023, combining uncompromising performance with a degree of elegance and sophistication that De Tomaso has become known for within recent years.

Just 18 examples of the P900 will be produced globally, with only a small number of allocations still available for purchase. Each vehicle will be meticulously customized to the clients personal tastes with a host of bespoke tailoring options, including a factory run drivers programme (De Tomaso Competizione) which will enable owners from across the globe to connect and share their passion for driving excellence at a range of world class race circuits.

Designed by Jowyn Wong, the man behind the notable Apollo IE and De Tomaso P72, the P900 encompasses traditional De Tomaso styling with sharp purposeful lines, delivering an unmistakable timeless aesthetic.

The elegant, swooping curves that can be found on the P72, have been carried over into the P900, albeit with a focus on aerodynamic eciency and performance, a feat which De Tomaso is proud to say did not come easily. Despite the aggressive race-focused positioning, De Tomaso has not forgotten about the creature comforts enthusiasts desire, creating a sumptuous interior environment complete with cup holders.

The bespoke, naturally aspirated V12 engine, hails from Germany and signifies a fresh projection for the De Tomaso hallmark. Enthralled by the long-standing history of De Tomaso, owner and CEO Norman Choi, finds solace in the historic archives, using any information he can gather on the past aspirations of the brand to bring light to untold stories within its history. Úpon discovering that De Tomaso had originally planned to develop an in-house V12, Norman made the decision to fulfill this dream and continue the work that Alejandro had originally planned, albeit with a modern-day twist.

While De Tomaso acknowledges the future for electric vehicle technology, their focus remains solely on creating longevity for the naturally aspirated, soulful, internal combustion engines that enthusiasts so often yearn for. Guided by their strategic engineering partner Capricorn, De Tomaso has begun development on an entirely new 12 cylinder platform that can be run solely on synthetic fuel – in essence, the worlds-first carbon neutral V12. The structural (stressed) powertrain boasts a 6.2L capacity, 900 hp and a rev limiter topping out at just shy of 12,300 rpm.

As part of the P900 ownership experience, De Tomaso is committed to creating an exclusive cohort of the world's most discerning collectors. The brand holds in high regard the customer base which they have built for their preliminary model, the P72, and allocations will be given as preference to existing customers. Each owner will have the pleasure of joining the De Tomaso Competizione programme, a unique and exclusive opportunity to meld with automotive enthusiasts and business minds alike. De Tomaso Competizione oers owners the ability to join a scheduled race calendar each year, suited towards gentleman drivers looking to get their racing fix.

Owners will be tutored and able to compete head to head at some of the worlds most prestigious and demanding raceways. Included in the package, De Tomaso will supply a dedicated team of mechanics and engineers who will assist with track day setup, vehicle transportation and on-track performance, dialing in the vehicles dynamics to the owners unique requirements. Should the owners choose to, De Tomaso will also provide factory storage and maintenance at their Nürburgring facilities in Germany. The P900 model will make its debut in Q2 of 2023 at a host of international automotive events.
