Crane DeTomaso Pantera

Taking inspiration from Carlo Pecino AKA Colorsponge and his spectacular Ferrari 308 Brawler, Daniel Crane from Crane Designs has given the iconic 1971-1975 DeTomaso Pantera a modern twist. The Italian machine was one of the greatest supercars ever to be built, and making an improvement to something which is already perfect is an almost impossible task, but we think Daniel nailed it in this build. He maintained the hard-edged wedge shape, but modified and updated some of the stylings with a more modern approach, while preserving the shapes and forms that have established it as one of the most revered automotive designs in history. He also extended the wheel fenders with oversized flares, stripped out some smaller cosmetic details, and painted everything black, creating an remarkable modern widebody supercar.
