This purple-highlighted design study is Frederik Tjellesen's view of what a new vehicle for the on-again / off-again De Tomaso brand could look like if he were to be involved. Named the Ghepardo, it's a four-door coupe that draws from former DeTomaso vehicles like the Pantera and Mangusta, as well as the idea that fine Italian automobiles (burning to the ground or not), need to be custom-tailored much like a suit.
Power for the fantasy car, as with many former De Tomaso cars, comes from a Ford-sourced engine; in this case, it would be a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 cranked up to 465 horsepower or four 80+ kW wheel-mounted motors (also good for a theoretical 450+ horsepower) that are powered by methanol fuel cells in the trunk.
Somewhere, the car has something called "bottom windows" for the purpose of "[increasing] the rear passengers' perception of speed", while the rear doors are gullwing units that also function as the boot lids.
