De Tomaso is best known for creating classics such as the Pantera and Mangusta, but more recently it’s lived a tortured existence.

About a decade ago, Gian Mario Rossignolo acquired the brand and decided to relaunch the company with the all-new Deauville. A concept was introduced at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and the model was heavily based on Cadillac underpinnings.

Following the Deauville’s unveiling, things quickly spiraled out of control. Rossignolo was arrested for misusing government funds and last year he was sentenced to five and half years in jail for fraud and embezzlement.

The De Tomaso brand went back up for sale and it was eventually acquired by Apollo Automobil‏. Now it’s making back a comeback, of sorts, as there’s a prototype called the “Project P” traveling around Geneva.

Teased in a short clip, alongside the Apollo IE, the Project P appears to be a faithful recreation of the original Pantera. The company didn’t say much about the car, but we can see the model will have familiar bodywork and bulging wheel arches. The car also appears to have a mid-engine design, but the prototype seems to have slimmer buttresses than the original model.

Apollo has been tight-lipped about the car, but Evo talked to general manager Ryan Berris who confirmed they bought the De Tomaso brand in 2014. He went on to say “there’s a lot going on behind the scenes, [but] we’re not ready to make comment at the moment.”

There’s no word on when the new Pantera will be unveiled, but the company is already testing a prototype and this year marks the brand’s 60th anniversary. Given the timing, it’s possible more details could be announced later this year.
