De Tomaso has been teasing the P900 for a few days, and finally, we can say that it is a track special with a V12 engine that is naturally aspirated.
The almost unbelievable dry weight of 900 kilograms, or roughly 1,984 pounds, is what gives it its name.Additionally, De Tomaso wants the 6.2-liter V12, which can rev up to 12,300 rpm, to produce 900 horsepower.This means that there are still two small manufacturers making V12s with naturally aspirated engines that can go above 12,000 rpm.While the improvement of the V12 is still in progress, we know a couple of things about it. When completed, it will be the world's lightest and shortest V12 and serve as a structural component.
Only 18 P900s, each costing $3 million, will be produced, and they will only be used on the track.The P900 will satisfy the need for extreme speed in a controlled environment, while the P72 appears to handle grand touring.It's similar to a Pagani Huayra R, but a little bit more insane.We now know why De Tomaso also hinted at a V10 engine.The V12 is being designed in-house to run on synthetic fuels because the company wants it to be as green as possible.De Tomaso will provide a V10 in the interim.Mind you, not any V10 at all.Judd built this particular V10, which is likely a similar unit to the ones found in the McLaren Solus GT. It is loosely based on the V10 that was used in the 1997 Benetton B197 F1 car and several Le Mans racers.
An Xtrac gearbox made specifically for this vehicle will deliver power to the rear wheels.It seems likely that De Tomaso will deliver on its promise of an LMP-like driving experience.
It looks like a pure racing car from the way it was made.First and foremost, it is the first hypercar to be developed, tested, and approved on the Nurburgring.This year, De Tomaso started building a factory there.Capricorn GmbH, which is well-known for its work in Formula One and the Porsche 919 EVO LMP1 car's body panels, completed the car's carbon composites.Norman Choi, CEO of De Tomaso, stated, "At De Tomaso, we pay an enormous amount of attention to the driving experience." In part, a large majority of this complex matrix can be attributed to the sounds and vibrations—in essence, the feeling of a naturally aspirated engine firing on all cylinders." I find it hard to accept a silent future driven by EVs as a passionate car enthusiast."We believe there are alternatives, and the creation of our new platform powered by synthetic fuels is our strategy for preserving our shared enthusiasm for the combustion engine theater."
Choi claims that De Tomaso's pursuit of synthetic fuels exemplifies the company's commitment to zero-emission mobility without sacrificing the engine's soul and sound, which are essential to driving pleasure.Without a V12 engine, the P900 will go on sale in the second quarter of 2023.The V10 option is available for those who do not wish to wait for the V12, and development of the larger unit will continue until late 2024.
De Tomaso won't share performance numbers, but that doesn't mean there aren't any reasons to boast."The performance figures and details of the P900 will remain a secret for the lucky few who choose to enter the extreme hypercar program," according to De Tomaso.
Lead designer of the P900, Jowyn Wong, stated, "Our design team has spent a tremendous amount of time overhauling the visual cues of the P72 into a far more performance-focused offering." Maintaining the distinctive De Tomaso DNA without departing too much from our fundamental pillars of elegance and sophistication was crucial.The outcome, we feel, is a vehicle that is obviously forceful yet still heartfelt, summoning the feelings of 1960s and 1970s Le Monitor models while keeping an extraordinary and particular plan language -- a genuine cutting edge time machine." Regarding the P72, it is the key to owning a P900.De Tomaso values its current customers highly, and P72 customers will receive preference.
De Tomaso, on the other hand, won't just sell the car to the first 18 P72 owners who placed an order.Owning a P900 will involve much more than simply parking it in the garage and participating in sporadic track days.
The De Tomaso Competizione program, which will allow P900 customers to participate in a predetermined race calendar each year, is being launched by the company.On some of the most prestigious and demanding raceways in the world, these customers will compete against one another.De Tomaso will provide a dedicated group of mechanics and engineers to help with setup on the track, transportation, performance on the track, and fine-tuning the car's dynamics.It's pretty much a similar arrangement you get with the Ferrari FXX program and equivalent to the framework Pagani runs for Huayra R proprietors.
De Tomaso will also store it for you at its Nurburgring facilities if you choose.The De Tomaso P900 Track Special with 900 horsepower has been made public.The P900 has been teased by De Tomaso for a few days, and now we can say that it is a track special with a naturally aspirated V12 engine.
The practically unfathomable dry weight of 900 kilograms, or approximately 1,984 pounds, gives it its name. Also, De Tomaso needs the 6.2-liter V12, which can fire up to 12,300 rpm, to create 900 horsepower. This indicates that there are still only two small manufacturers producing V12s with engines that are naturally aspirated and have a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm.The V12, which is still in development, has a few details that we know about.It will be the world's lightest and shortest V12 when completed, and it will be a structural component.

In the interim, de Tomaso will provide a V10.Be aware that not a single V10Judd constructed this specific V10, which is probably a comparable unit to the ones found in the McLaren Solus GT. It has some similarities to the V10 engine found in several Le Mans racers and the 1997 Benetton B197 Formula One vehicle.
The vehicle's rear wheels will receive power from an Xtrac gearbox designed specifically for this model.De Tomaso appears to be on track to fulfill its promise of providing an LMP-like driving experience.
Based on how it was made, it looks like a pure racing car.It is the first hypercar to be developed, tested, and approved on the Nurburgring, which is the most important aspect.De Tomaso began construction on a factory there this year.The Porsche 919 EVO LMP1 car's carbon composites were finished by Capricorn GmbH, which is well-known for its work in Formula One and on the car's body panels."At De Tomaso, we pay a tremendous amount of attention to the driving experience," stated Norman Choi, CEO of De Tomaso.The sounds and vibrations—in essence, the sensation of a naturally aspirated engine firing on all cylinders—account for a significant portion of this intricate matrix.

We think the final product will be a car that is clearly aggressive but still romantic."It is a true time machine from today because it evokes the feelings of Le Mans prototypes from the 1960s and 1970s while maintaining its own distinctive design language." The P72 is the key to owning a P900. De Tomaso places a high value on its existing customers, and P72 customers will be given preference.
