[DeTomaso] EXT: Re: Two Weeks to Go - New Pantera (Project P) Debut at Festival of Speed

Wed Jun 19 13:38:10 EDT 2019

Since the popularity of the FOS has exponentially grown over the last few years with the rise of social media I think the car will be much more popular.  I watched the entire facebook livestream last year on my 4K T.V and was blown away.  All in all none of this can be bad for the marque.  The Pantera's popularity has been growing dramatically over the last few years so I think all of this is good news for those of us who own one.  As noted below there have been a lot of attempts but CIT has picked a rather large event to promote this new venture so I think this is something else entirely than what we have seen in the past.  I just hope the new car is true to its roots.  The Pantera was and still is a big middle finger to the establishment Italian super car manufacturers and its popularity today is a testament to that fact.

Actually, POCA now owns the rights to the "Pantera" name.
