That would be hot hot hot!

Looks 1000x better than the original!

It's life was far too short.

Bill in Tarantino's "Kill Bill" drove a DeTomaso.

'nuff said.

It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.

I like the wheels. They remind me of the upcoming wheels on the GT-R.

Build it and they will come.

Are you talkin to me?

/sorry, had to be done.

I'm as big on revivalism as the next guy, but this new Pantera looks kibda "meh" to me. I think the frontend isn't as |<001 as it could be. Maybe if the spoiler or the grille were redesigned.

"Don't expect the "Panthera" to make it through any automaker's boardroom alive."

I read that as "bedroom", not "boardroom", and realized that's the problem. Nobody in charge at *MoCo has car pictures pined up in his bedroom. The first *MoCo exec that does will instantly win 95% of the car guys to his side.

BTW Not only does blockquote still not work, it seems to really dork up wrap, too.

@Retiree: pined, pinned, whatever...

Shouldn't it be built on the bones of a Ford GT, not a Gallardo? Much more fitting.

Egads I adore the Pantera.

Although this.. not so much. I don't know why but it doesn't scream "rad" at me quite like the original.

Maybe because I've seen and heard an original, and no engine can sound like that again. I think it was running short headers with maybe 2' of piping afterwards.

It sounded like it was running on the souls of dead children - really fucking evil.

@skaz:
Agreed 100%. I remember riding shot gun in a co-workers Pantera. It set off every car alarm in the parking structure and I was lucky I didn't wet my pants when he decided to "really go fast."

While this concept is cool, it isn't as sinister or bad-assed as the original.

That's a really nice piece of work; what retro car design should look like. Also, I agree with THECHAZ - Ford should build this off a GT platform. NOW!

I like it, it looks like a Pantera without being a replica and without looking dated, this is what the Pantera could have evolved into.

@TheChaz: Not only would the GT be fitting it would have to be cheaper than buying the chassis from Lambo. Plus they could by the GT engine and keep it more like the original.

I miss the pop-up headlights very much...But the rear looks astonishingly beautiful!

That is sex and drugs on four wheels. I wanna get high and blown!!!

I like it. A lot.
