Designer Frederick Tjell tried out his hand on designing a new De Tomaso car, inspired by the Panthera. This concept is said to want to measure muscles with the Aston Martin Rapide, the Porsche Panamera and the Fisker Karma. Design-wise, the press release says the following:

“the Ghepardo concept takes inspiration from a tailor-made Italian suit visible in its purple surfaces.”

Hmmm…

Just wait until you hear what’s under the bonnet! The fierce supercar will be brought to life by either a Ford twin-turbo ecoboost 3.5 V6 engine that develops up to 465 bhp or by four electric in-hub fuel cells, each producing 85 Kw (combined an equivalent of 440 bhp). The spark will be produced by a methanol fuel cell stack placed beneath the 500 liter boot. Not bad, not bad at all.

This car aims pretty high, I’d say. But then again, Italian fashion and supercars are a perfect match.
