The P72: A Modern-Day Time Machine

De Tomaso to announce the production specification of the P72 on May 14, 2025

After twenty years of silence, De Tomaso returned at Goodwood, unveiling the P72 in a crescendo of reverence. This was more than a car, it was a tribute, its lines echoing the P70โ€™s grace, its spirit ignited with modern mastery. ย Jowyn Wong designed the P72โ€™s carbon-fiber chassis and flowing form unite nostalgia and innovation in perfect harmony. Sweeping arches, a low-slung cockpit, and wind-carved curves give it a presence both timeless and bold. Inside, it shuns the noise of the digital age, embracing analogue purityโ€”stirring memories of a first drive, a childhood thrill, a fleeting rush of yesteryear.

The P70 by Peter was a beautiful machine of its timeโ€”a raw, expressive shape that captured the spirit of racing and design purity in the 1960s. The P72 is my interpretation of that spirit. I designed the P72 in the way of a musician, by feeling the mood, the tempo, the soul. I designed it to be elegant, cinematic, and unapologetically romantic. Every curve was tuned like a frequency. Every surface is designed to echo something more profound than the eye can see.

Jowyn Wong โ€” P72 Designer

“It wasnโ€™t about making a car, it was about the awakening of an experience I wanted to give. A silhouette that could stop time. A presence that lingers in your memory long after itโ€™s gone. Thatโ€™s how I conceive design. It has to move you before it even moves at all. The P72 are my emotions manifested in form.”

Our mission was clear: to bridge generations, crafting a treasure for tomorrowโ€™s collectors and yesterdayโ€™s custodians. A tribute to Alejandroโ€™s enduring spirit. A crown for Peter Brockโ€™s vision. A promise that De Tomasoโ€™s pulse will echo through time. The journey has only just begun.
