Admittedly, I have a weak spot for the can am style cars like the Ferrari P4, Porsche 908, and the Jaguar D Type...

I had a similar reaction. I wondered if it came in white and a mechanical bird could pop out of the hood, and if it had hydraulic jumpy legs and wings. I am more a classic Ferrari fan in that sort of exotic car category, but that is beautiful.

Some very classic lines there. Reminds me of the LeMans cars from the 60's and 70's.

That interior is gorgeous! Reminds me of the Pagani Hyeura.
 
Apparently Jim Glickenhaus is a little annoyed by the P72's resemblance to his one-off Pininfarina P4/5:




But Jim's car is an homage to the Ferrari 330 P4:




While the P72, to my eye, owes much more to the Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Coupe Speciale.

 
I didn't realize DeTomaso was still in business. The last time I heard anything about them was the Pantera.
