Reinventing the Pantera
Conceived and designed as the first example of ARES Design’s ‘Bespoke Creations’ service, its Project ‘Panther’ is a comprehensive modern reimagining of the iconic 1970s Pantera. It will be completely constructed from carbon fibre and will have a unique mix of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering.
The basis for the conversion – ARES Design’s clients’ donor cars – will be one of today’s most revered Italian supercars, powered by a 5.2 litre naturally aspirated V10 that develops between 640-660hp. The original Pantera and the modern-day donor cars share broadly similar dimensions. The donor is considerably wider, but with a wheelbase that is only 12 centimetres longer than the original Pantera it is an ideal basis for the transformation. Images © ARES Design.
