2021 Ares Design Panther ProgettoUno

The true successor to the De Tomaso Pantera has arrived, with the Ares Design Panther ProgettoUno hitting limited production. After debuting at the Concorso d’Eleganza in 2019, Ares Design have officially started making their Lamborghini Huracan based supercar. Numbers will be limited to only 19 units in total, and buyers can expect to pay more than double than the price of a new Huracan.

Ares Design have managed to combine some retro styling cues that hark back to the original Pantera, with more modern forms and technology. The resulting styling of the Panther is of a good looking car that pays homage to the Pantera without looking out of place on todays roads. Ares are also implementing a thorough personalisation program for the Panther, allowing customers spec their new supercar to be a unique version that will likely not be seen anywhere else.

At the heart of the Panther is the same 5.2L V10 engine Lamborghini uses in the Huracan. With an engine that provides such potent performance, Ares decided a little more power was required to really get the Panther going. Peak power is now rated at 650 PS (478 kW) which is up from 602 PS the engine comes with from the factory. Torque remains the same at 442 lb-ft (599 Nm), and the dry weight should be very similar as well.
