De Tomaso unveiled the P900 hypercar on Monday, further accelerating the revival of the historic Italian performance marque.<\/p>\n

It started in 2019 with the reveal of the P72 supercar,<\/a>\u00a0which is a showstopper powered by a Roush-tuned Ford V-8.<\/p>\n

The modern De Tomaso revealed a follow up in the form of the V-12-powered P900 hypercar. The design is clearly derived from the P72 but the new rear section features a roof scoop, stabilizer fin, and huge wing to create the aura of a race car, adding to rumors De Tomaso is mulling an entry in top-level endurance racing with its own LMH.<\/p>\n

The company remains tight with details but said the P900 is aimed at track enthusiasts, in contrast to the P72 that was designed as a grand tourer. The company also said the V-12 in the P900 is a unique design.<\/p>\n

As for any racing potential, De Tomaso said the project’s aim is to highlight the use of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels that a number of companies, including oil giants like Aramco, are exploring. Potential sources for such fuels include biomass or newer carbon-capture technology, like what Porsche is developing at its pilot plant<\/a> in Punta Arenas, Chile. Formula 1 is also committed to introducing synthetic fuels by 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

De Tomaso is yet to announce production details for the P900. The main focus at present is the P72, due in 2023 and\u00a0built in a run of 72 cars<\/a> at a plant jointly operated by De Tomaso and the German engineering company Capricorn Group, and located at the N\u00fcrburgring. Capricorn, which also helped develop the carbon-fiber monocoque structure underpinning the P72, and presumably the P900, is the same company that helped Porsche with its hugely successful 919 Hybrid LMP1 race car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
