De Tomaso is now officially breathing and ready to conquer the world. The company has brought its new model to the Geneva Auto Show. Dubbed Deauville, this is a sporty four-door, rather unconventional vehicle, with a design signed by Pininfarina.

The power comes form a 2.8-liter V6 unit that uses turbocharging to deliver 300 hp and a maximum torque of 295 lb-ft (400 Nm), which is available between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm. The powerplant is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, which sends the power to the road using an all-wheel drive system.

The brand had to make sure that its revival vehicle offers satisfying performance, even though one that doesn’t belong to the sportscar category... And it did!

The car, which measures 1630 mm in height, 5080 mm in length and 1950 mm in width and tips the scales at 1,850 kg (4,078 lbs), manages to cover the 0 to 62 mph sprint in 6.7 seconds. If the driver keeps the pedal to the metal, it can reach a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

The resolution of the front is expressed by the personality of the large hexagonal grille that urges forward, transmitting assertiveness and sportiness, and reflecting the car's potential for performance, while the front light clusters, which slip towards the sides of the car, underline its dynamism. The hexagon, which harks back to motifs dear to De Tomaso history, is repeated on the side of the car (air outlet, front wing and shape of windows) and in the design of the rear light clusters,” stated the press release.
