Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce our strategic #partnership with capricorn Group as we expand our global operations to create further success. In conjunction with capricorn, we will be opening a brand-new state-of-the-art production facility at the legendary Nürburgring where construction has already commenced and is set for completion in summer 2022.
New Nürburgring Facility
De Tomaso P72 to be Produced by capricorn
Further strengthening the P72 Programme story, we are pleased to announce that the final P72 production will be conducted by capricorn, in a new state-of-the-art facility at the legendary Nürburgring.
In the pursuit of perfection, we spare no expense to ensure the highest level of engineering, quality and safety on our vehicles. Despite the complexities caused by COVID-19, our team has been diligently working to find the most efficient path forward as we, along with the rest of the world, were forced to navigate the unknown. Whilst it was our original intent to produce the P72’s in America, the disruptions of COVID-19 would not permit us to maintain our targeted timelines. Thus, we are proud to have taken a strategic business decision to produce our pre-series and production P72’s in #collaboration with capricorn at the new co-branded Nürburgring facility. Nevertheless, we retain our current US partners, facilities, powertrain operations and initiative to expand our North American presence.
This decision further solidifies our philosophy of a relentless pursuit of excellence, expanding our internal team whilst embracing strategic world-class partnerships. Our modern approach and ethos has always been rooted in having the humility to seek the best partners in the world whilst exercising transparency for those who help us achieve our goals.
“Since our revival of De Tomaso there has been a large focus on the P72 and its development programme which is progressing very well. In addition, we have been making extensive progress on our business development, setting a strong foundation for our future expansion of De Tomaso. Today we are proud to announce a new strategic #partnership which reaffirms our philosophy, strengthens our core competencies and ensures the highest level of quality for our future offerings. Our P72 will not only be developed on, but also produced at the legendary Nürburgring, providing unrivaled experience, quality and value for our clients. ” — Norman Choi, Chairman — De Tomaso Automobili
