V10 Pantera Restomod
Rebirth of an icon
In an age where automotive perfection often seems sterile and emotionless, Reiter Engineering preserves what once made driving fascinating: character, uniqueness and mechanical honesty.
With over 25 years of motorsport experience, we are bringing these values back to life through high-end engineering.
The V10 Pantera Restomod is based on a true icon: the De Tomaso Pantera. Its unmistakeable design has been retained and reinterpreted with the utmost respect. Each body is carefully handcrafted, driven by the same passion as in the past. Our guiding principle: timeless design, the highest quality and uncompromising safety, performance and comfort.
Performance
Tangible Power. Precise Control.
A naturally aspired V10 engine, manual transmission and a newly developed chassis ensure an authentic, analog driving experience. Refined kinematics, 4-way adjustable dampers and stabilizers and CFD-optimized aerodynamics deliver precision and control at the highest level.
Drivetrain
A 5.2 litre V10 with 620 hp delivers its power with fascinating ease. The manual transmission brings the driver back to the pure essence of driving: direct, intense, unadulterated. A specially developed manifold ensures a spine-tingling sound. Every componenet of the drivetrain has been perfected on the test bench for maximum precision, emotion and control.
Suspension
Newly tuned kinematics elimiate disruptive influences on driving stability and enable unparalleled precision. Optimized weight distribution and roll center settings guarantee intuitive handling even at the limit. 4-way adjustable KW dampers, tuned on the KW 4-post rig, elevate the driving experience significantly beyond that of the original Pantera.
Aerodynamics
Modern CFD analyses completely redefine aerodynamics. Reduced lift and optimized aerobalance ensure stability. A virtual rear spoiler concept generates targeted downforce at the rear, complemented by a sophisticated aero underbody. The result: impressive stability and safety at the highest speeds. A classic with the driving feel of a super sports car.
Cooling
Optimized air ducts, state-of-the-art heat exchangers and additional cooling for the engine and transmission guarantee consistent performance without overheating, even under extreme conditions on the track.
Safety Standards
Maximum Confidence
A reinforced chassis with roll cage, sturdy front and rear frames anf 4-point seat belts form the basis. ABS and carbon-ceramic breaks ensure controlled braking in every situation. Safety is not an extra, it is our foundation.
Chassis
The self-supporting body of the original Pantera is completely restored and reinforced. Expertise gained from FIA and road approvals ensures maximum structural safety. The chassis are completely straightened at Coventry Metalcraft and offer absolute dimensional accuracy. Reinforced frames and an integrated roll cage significantly increase occupant protection.
Bodywork
Most body parts are handcrafted from aluminium, complemented by carbon parts. Traditional craftsmanship meets state-of-the-art technology for lightness, style and the highest structural quality
Carbon-Ceramic Brake System
Consistent, precise deceleration on the road and racetrack. Carbon-ceramic brakes combined with modern ABS deliver uncompromising control
Bucket seats & 4-point harness
ECE-certified bucket seats and a 4-point harness with retractor offer maximum support and protection. The system allows natural freedom of movement like a 3-point seat belt, perfectly combining comfort and motorsport safety.
Lights
The iconic pop-up headlights remain and are equipped with modern LED technology. Optimal nighttime visibility meets classic character.
Comfort
Noticeably cosier, pleasantly sporty
An optimized seating position, even for tall drivers, elctrohydraulic power steering, new pedals and powerful air conditioning ensure a relaxed driving experience. Classic emotion meets modern everyday practicality.
Seating position
A completely redesigned cockpit offers seat height and longitudional adjustment for different body sizes. Even drivers over 190 cm tall will find a comfortable, authentic seating position.
Steering
A modern, high-performance power steering preserves the direct, analog steering feel when reducing the effort required for a precise, comfortably implemented feedback.
Air Conditioning
A modern, high-performance air conditioning system ensures a pleasant interior climate at all times: quiet, efficient and perfectly integrated, even on hot summer days.
