Let us tell you how this works, De Tomaso: First you give us the supercar, then you dilute the brand with crossovers and city cars and such. Got it? Just ask Porsche or Aston Martin. Oh never mind - we’ll just take the sportscar now.

Half a year after reviving the brand, inexplicably, with the Deauville concept, rumor has it that De Tomaso is getting ready to unveil a Pantera successor at September’s upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new supercar - which revives the nameplate of the 70s classic pictured above - is said to weigh less than 1,200 kilograms (2,645 pounds), which, coupled to a 600-horsepower Chevrolet Corvette V8, ought to dial-in some blistering performance.

The spy video we brought you a couple of months ago certainly looked - and sounded - promising, but we’ll have to wait until September to see how the finished product turns out.De Tomaso to unveil new Pantera at Frankfurt originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:31:00 EST.
