Why it matters
The P72 revived the De Tomaso name as a GT-styled sports car. It was deliberately tied to the 1965 P70 racer rather than to the Pantera, and it was planned with a supercharged Ford-based V8. Only 72 units were planned.

Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionplanned production limit worldwide | 721 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2019 for the 60th anniversary of the De Tomaso name, the P72 is to be built at the Nurburgring on a new carbon chassis. The first production-spec example was completed in December 2024, five and a half years after the unveiling. A track-only P900 version is also being built.
