Ok, I’m calling it. The DeTomaso P72 is the best looking car on the road. I don’t even like hypercars that much, but this?  

I’m going to need a 1:18 scale model and a poster of this, post-haste .

I don’t think the rear end resolves quite right, and the interior looks a bit gaudy, but otherwise yes it’s pretty gorgeous.

It’s like a combination of the Ferrari P3/4, Ford P68/69, and an Alfa 4C.

Good catch on the Ford P68 references! I actually have a small list of cars that have similar styling, in case someone tries to say they ripped off the Pininfarina P4 /5 lol. I’ll have to add your observation to the list!

Didn’t think I would like polished and brushed copper, but...

Actually, the photos don’t give the rear end justice. The duck-tail spoiler forms the upper surface, but interrupts the rear fenders that resolve into the tail light nacelles.
