De Tomaso Pantera is a very famous Italian car making company and the GT 5 is one of their best models. Successor to the De Tomaso Mangusta, the Pantera GT 5 is a two door, mid engine, hard top, super sports car first produced in the year 1971. The Pantera ruled the market for two decades before being phased out in 1991. The Pantera GT 5 was an exclusive vehicle and the car was built only on request and the last GT 5 was delivered in the year 1992. The car was designed by American car designer Tom Tjaarda and it was a rage back in its time..

The Pantera GT 5 is built on a steel chassis and is based on a monocoque design. The car has a mean front grille with retraceable head lamps and the hood has an air cavity for cooling the air cooled engine. The car is available in sun set red, racing blue, mid night black, metallic silver and moon light white colors and the rear spoiler controls the air movement when the car is at high speeds, hence keeping the car grounded. The sleek lines start from the front of the vehicle, moves through the sides and end abruptly at the rear end just behind the rear wheel. This gives the car an overall aggressive look.
