History
Ares Design presented this car as the first example of its 'Legends Reborn' service, a modern re-creation of the 1970s De Tomaso Pantera. The company revealed it in 2018 under the name Project Panther, as its third coachbuilt car.
Each car is a conversion of a client's donor Lamborghini Huracán. The donor receives carbon-fibre body panels and a new platform, and the interior is customised to each buyer's request. Top Gear reported that some deposits had been taken when the car was revealed.
