The One and Only 1964 DeTomaso P70 LeMans Prototype at Amelia Island Concours 2020

Quick intro to the extraordinary DeTomaso P70 that was intended as a LM racecar and was being developed by Carroll Shelby before he jumped ship to join Ford’s racing effort. This open-air prototype with its ultra low driving position and nearly smooth perspex windscreen is amazing - especially from the tail, where the integrated spoiler and oval bodywork are elegant previews of future Ferraris. The squashed air-gulping intakes in the rear canopy are a favorite detail.

The original P70 is a unique design in it's own, but the new P72 looks like a modern interpretation of the Ferrari 330 P3.

Some don't know the P70 was originally designed to use a 414 ci to 424 ci Ford Windsor eng
