The De Tomaso P900 Is a 12,300-RPM V-12 Track CarDe Tomaso

The newly revived De Tomaso surprised everyone back in 2019 with the P72, a stick-shift supercar that paid homage to the Peter Brock-designed P70 of 1965. As is seemingly de riguer for any boutique car company these days, there's a track-only version in the works, too: the P900.

Where the P72 will use a Roush-modified supercharged Ford V-8 and a manual gearbox, the P900 promises a 12,300-rpm, 900-hp V-12 paired with an XTrac sequential. That won't be ready until the end of 2024, however, and if the customer wants their car sooner, they can substitute in a V-10 from racing supplier Judd. The name references not only the power output from the V-12, but also the targeted weight, 900 kg dry, or just under a ton. Obviously, with fluids, that weight will likely creep above the 2000-pound mark, but it's still light. Speaking of fluids, De Tomaso says the V-12 can run on synthetic fuels.
