About a month ago, the owner of the very first De Tomaso P72<\/a> R seriesHe finally received the keys to his car<\/a>, after nearly seven years of waiting since orders opened in 2019.

After Germany, the exclusive P72 \u00abAurelian Night\u00bb has now been spotted in Monaco, offering enthusiasts another opportunity to admire one of the rarest cars of the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Frankfurt to Monaco, a P72 that never stands still<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When De Tomaso<\/a> When the first P72 destined for a customer was unveiled in early June, many assumed it would quickly disappear into an air-conditioned garage. As it turns out, that wasn't the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few days after it was delivered, this P72 had already been spotted in Munich, before causing a sensation in late June on the streets of Frankfurt. With each appearance, the scene played out the same way: passersby stopping in their tracks, smartphones at the ready, and drivers intrigued by this silhouette that looked as if it had come straight out of the 1960s 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moving work of art that catches everyone's eye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even in Monaco, where Ferraris, Bugattis, and Paganis are practically part of the scenery, the De Tomaso P72 does not go unnoticed. Its \u201cAurelian Night\u201d paint\u2014a deep blue designed to evoke the transition from day to night\u2014completely changes its appearance depending on the light. The numerous hand-polished rose gold accents\u2014from the wheels and side mirrors to the trim and body details\u2014further enhance its unique character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directly inspired by the legendary De Tomaso P70, the P72 features highly organic lines, with generously curved fenders, a narrow cockpit, and proportions that stand in stark contrast to modern hypercars. More than just a showcase of performance, it appears to be a true sculpture in motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A seven-year wait for 72 cars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2019, the De Tomaso P72 underwent a particularly lengthy development process before reaching its first customers. Deliveries did not truly begin until 2026, nearly seven years after the first reservations were placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
