De Tomaso Pantera Group 4

Information

De Tomaso Pantera Group 4 'Prototipo', the first of fourteen Group 4 Panteras.

After a crash at the Monza 1000km World Sportscar Championship, the damaged bodyshell of 2263 subsequently sat on a dolly in the back yard of the factory until 1979 when it was renumbered 8263 and used to build a red GT5 demonstrator for the German De Tomaso distributor, AHI.

De Tomaso supplied the car to AHI at a little over half the price of a brand new GT5 and 2263 remained in its new configuration until 2016 / 2017 when its true identity was discovered. Since then, the car has been restored to its original configuration.

Shown to the press in January 1972 for the launch of the Pantera Group 4.
