[DeTomaso] Prototype for sale. Again?

Tue Mar 14 16:08:41 EDT 2017

I’ve been looking hard for an article about this car when it first showed up.  It wasn’t even a DeTomaso

prototype.  It was a design prototype for a new Renault Alpine A310 which died moments later.  I don’t

remember how long it was, but it then shows up as a new Pantera design.  I think the old man just picked

it up and ran with it.  Google  Renault Alpine A310 and you’ll see what I’m talking about.  Still hunting the

original article.

A recent article in a Euro magazine shows the original fiberglas mold still at what's left of the Modena factory, and two complete bodies pulled from the mold but not finished. The 'unveiled' 2000 prototype was a push-mobile shell with rudimentary wheel attachments and no engine, trans nor interior. Never saw anything about what engine/trans was planned. The old man could have been planning yet another surprise for the world.....

I would argue its not the exact same car shown in the unveiling. Note
the absence of side-view mirrors on the doors, and how the original had
them and appeared to be mechanically hinged at the front. The recent
photos don't show any provisions for a mechanical connection of
mirrors. The parting lines between some panels look tight in the
modern photos versus more space on the unveiled version. It also
appears a corner light was installed (passenger side front) but the
modern photo shows a solid piece of bodywork.
Was there more than one of the bodies made? I'm probably just being
too critical.
