De Tomaso Sport 5000
The De Tomaso Sport 5000 (also known as the Ghia DeTomaso, the De Tomaso 70P or the De Tomaso P70) was a short-lived sports racing car built by De Tomaso in 1965. Fitted with a Ford V8 engine, the Sport 5000 was initially designed to be used as a Grand Tourer; however, only one car was ever built of the planned 50, meaning that it competed solely as a sports prototype in just one race, the 1966 Mugello Grand Prix.
==Design and development==
Towards the end of 1965, Alejandro de Tomaso, the owner of De Tomaso, decided to respond to criticism about the firm's Vallelunga lacking power. Carroll Shelby sourced a Ford V8 engine (tuned to provide around at 7,300 rpm), and also commissioned Pete Brock to design the car's open-top aluminium bodywork.〔 Using the unique backbone chassis of the Vallelunga, with only a few modifications, the Sport 5000 was built in Italy, by local metalworkers.〔 However, Shelby was unhappy with the resulting bodywork, and sent Brock to work alongside Medardo Fantuzzi to redevelop it; the resulting car, which featured a moveable rear wing and full doors, was christened as the De Tomaso 70P, or De Tomaso P70.〔 However, before the end of 1965, Shelby withdrew from the project, instead turning his attention to the struggling Ford GT40 project.〔 As a result, De Tomaso turned to Ghia, and the car became known as the Ghia DeTomaso.〔 The car made its first public appearance at the Turin Motor Show in November 1965, with striking red bodywork.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1965 De Tomaso Sport 5000 / 70P / P70 )〕 The car would appear again at the Modena Racing Car Show in February 1966, and was featured on the front cover of Road & Track Magazine a month later.〔 Due in part to the withdrawal of Shelby, only one P70 was built; however, Brock had stayed on as part of the project, and was intended to be the car's American distributor.〔 Prior to the car's racing debut, De Tomaso Modified the design and build a 2nd car to be used in Europian races under the name of Sport 5000. The car was raced in a hillclimb along side a Ferrari 250LM, but was unable to finish the race.〔
