De Tomaso, the Italian automobile that was founded in 1928 by Alejandro de Tomaso, has an all-new $3 million hypercar. The new hypercar is called the P900, and there’ll be just only 18 examples ever made.

Only a few numbers of these hypercars are available to buy now if you have over a billion Naira to pour into them.
The P900 is a naturally aspirated V12 hypercar that makes 900 horsepower and weighs just 900kg. That’s exactly where the brand picked the “P900” name.
The two-seater hypercar is a track-only variant that Jowyn Wong, the lead designer behind the incredible P72, has designed.

De Tomaso Automobili is positioning the P900 as a “thoroughbred track-focused tool” inspired by Alejandro De Tomaso’s lifelong passion and obsession with motor racing.
The Design Of The De Tomaso’s P900
De Tomaso Automobili says the P900 will have a full carbon fibre exterior. It will share the same swooping curves found on the P72 while also wearing De Tomaso’s traditional sharp, purposeful lines.
While race-focused, De Tomaso says it has not forgotten the creature comforts driver really wants on the road, including cup holders.
The lead designer, Jowyn Wong, said the car was “aggressive by nature yet still romantic, invoking the emotions of 60s/70s Le Mans Prototypes.”
The De Tomaso P900 Powertrain & Performance
The P900 has a bespoke, naturally aspirated V12 engine. The powertrain was designed and developed in-house with Capricorn GmbH.
The performance figures and details will remain a secret for now, only available to the lucky 18 owners.
While they are quiet on many of the details, one thing is certain the power will be sent to the rear wheels only, with a sequential gearbox at the heart of the car.
The hypercar maker says the P900 exists to be driven, not kept in a case.
“Every detail of the P900’s development has been moulded around driver feel and providing an authentic and accessible racing experience,” the lead designer said.
Electric Vs. Internal Combustion Future
The brand acknowledges there is a future for electric vehicle technology but says its focus remains “solely on creating longevity for the naturally aspirated, soulful, internal combustion engine that enthusiasts so often yearn for.”
The supercar maker says it has also developed an entirely new 12-cylinder platform that can run solely on synthetic fuel. With this, it hopes to create the world’s first carbon-neutral V12.
The CEO, Norman Choi, said it was “difficult to accept a silent EV-driven future.”
“We believe that alternatives do exist, and the development of our platform, driven by synthetic fuels, is our solution for keeping this shared passion for the theatre of combustion engine alive,” he said.
“This venture into synthetic fuels commitment to represents our commitment to the pursuit of a zero-emissions mobility future without sacrificing the crucial element which we all hold so dear, the soul and symphony of an engine.”
The hypercar is set to arrive in April 2023.
