You probably don’t hear about this brand all too often. De Tomaso was in the business for a brief spell and the Pantera GT5 was one of the most popular models. The problem was with the design of the car itself which was very basic at a time when exotic cars were advancing. Even the domestic Corvette offered more refinement than this model, and that isn’t a compliment. If you were to scoop up a Pantera GT5 you can look forward to spending a lot of money on repairs. Parts are hard to come by as well, which frustrates most owners to no end.

The car did have some interesting features like the grates along the sides and the front, but other than that it was a dud. When it comes down to straight performance numbers the De Tomaso Pantera didn’t impress all that much. You can find comparable exotic cars that will provide a lot more in terms of performance and quality.
