Taking a clue out of fitted Italian suits, Danish designer Frederik Tjellesen has come up with a car concept hailed as ‘DeTomaso Ghepardo’ (meaning “Cheetah” in Italian). This car has been featured in an article in a Danish car magazine Bil Magasinet. ‘DeTomaso Ghepardo’ comes with two option a) 3.5 litre V6 sourced from Ford twin-turbo 3.5 V6 engine (producing 465bhp) and b) electric powertrain which consists of four in-wheel electric motors (each providing 110 hp), apart from its sleek and elegant design also flaunts Ecoboost technology and methanol fuel cells.

Frederik Tjellesen quoted:

“De Tomaso was considered the entry-level to the holy grail of Italian super cars in the 1960s and 1970s. The cars were as fast and as beautiful, however, more inexpensive than the ones of Ferrari and Lamborghini. In 1971, De Tomaso introduced the Deauville which was the fastest saloon car at the time. It was referred to as a super saloon by founder Alejandro De Tomaso. Inspired by the spirit of the Deauville, the De Tomaso Ghepardo is a modern four door fuel cell super car with a surface treatment inspired by the legendary De Tomasos of the 60s and 70s and designed for the near future.”
