De Tomaso's famous supercar is set for a return – the Italian company says it will reveal a new Pantera at November's 2011 Los Angeles Motor Show.

The firm is already rumoured to be running prototypes of the car near its headquarters in Grugliasco, Italy – and the new model is set to follow the same script as the original, with a Ford V8 mounted in the middle of the car, driving the rear wheels.

The original Pantera produced 330bhp giving it a top speed of 160mph.

However, the new one will reportedly have 550bhp, giving De Tomaso a rival to the Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12C.

Set to reach showrooms in 2012, the car is expected to cost around £150,000.

Niiiiice 3!

I always hoped that VW would buy " De Tomaso" and make it Lamborghini's baby brother like Ferrari and Maserati.

I dreamt of a new Pantera, with the Audi 4.2 litre V8, like the Gumpert Apollo, and a new Mangusta with the Audi TT 3.2 Litre V6.

Looking forward to the new car anyway.
