Lot 233 | 1986 DETOMASO PANTERA GT5-S The Italian built Detomaso Pantera GT5-S was the third iteration of the Pantera designed by Tom Tjaarda at Ghia, and for many it represents the pinnacle of the model’s evolution since its introduction in 1971.In 1985, the GT5-S was released with redesigned bodywork using steel instead of fiberglass, thus the “S” being added to the name. The front air dam was smaller, top speed increased, and the car’s overall appearance transformed from “track ready” to sophisticated hypercar with its sensuous new Coke Bottle shape. 182 GT5-S cars were built from 1985 until 1990, 18 were RHD, 38 were imported into the US to be modified to meet US crash standards and 126 were Euro spec, this car is one of those.
