Overview[]
The 1974 De Tomaso Pantera GTS is an Italian sports car that was added to Driving Empire on March 8, 2024, as part of the De Tomaso Licensing Update. It can be purchased by players for $90,000.
In the spring of 1972, De Tomaso introduced the more sporting GTS model for the European market. The GTS was developed for Group 3 racing and received a more powerful engine with 350 PS (257 kW; 345 hp) DIN at 6000 rpm, thanks to a 11.0 : 1 compression ratio (versus 8.0 : 1 in the US market Pantera), larger Holley carburetors, a forged aluminum intake manifold, and freer flowing exhaust headers. The GTS also has considerably wider wheels, a more aggressive steering rack setup, ventilated disc brakes, adjusted spring rates and gear ratios, and conspicuous matte black body elements.
Performance[]
A low top speed may initially push away players, but the Pantera GTS proves itself on the track, where its low difficulty and above-average handling capabilities put this vehicle ahead of the pack. Acceleration and braking are nothing special, but the GTS is capable of taking home wins when its advantage in handling is used.
The Pantera GTS is a solid choice for beginner players, as it drives with ease, without an overly high top speed that is good enough for its price range.
