While most automakers and tuning companies are working on either modern cars or classic musclecars for this year’s SEMA Show, the guys over at Ringbrothers are getting busy with an Italian icon - the DeTomaso Pantera.
Although built in Italy, the Pantera was powered by an American V8 engine, which makes things a bit more simpler for Ringbrothers, who plant to drop a 600-horwepower Chevrolet LS3 plant under the vehicle’s rear bonnet. In addition, the classic exotic will receive Baer six-piston brakes, HRE wheels and... wait for it... a few design touches from Nike’s skunk works team, who will be working on the car’s fender flairs and rocker panels.

Add BASF’s Glasurit 90-Line paint system for a yellow exterior and we’re talking about a project car that will brake more than just a few necks at SEMA next month. The ADRNLN Pantera will be unveiled on November 5.
