De Tomaso Vallelunga

Product Details

Product Description

De Tomaso Vallelunga is a mid-engine sports car that was produced by the Italian manufacturer De Tomaso from 1964 to 1968. The Vallelunga was the first car that De Tomaso designed and manufactured completely in-house, and it is named after the Italian racetrack where De Tomaso won its first race. The Vallelunga features a lightweight fiberglass body that sits on a steel frame with a mid-mounted engine. It is powered by a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 104 horsepower and is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The car weighs just 1,430 pounds, which gives it a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 13 horsepower per 1,000 pounds. One of the key design features of the Vallelunga is its independent suspension system, which was revolutionary for the time. The car also features disc brakes on all four wheels, which were also uncommon on production cars in the 1960s. Overall, the De Tomaso Vallelunga is a beautifully designed and engineered sports car that represents an important chapter in the history of Italian automotive design. Its combination of light weight, mid-engine layout, and advanced suspension system make it a joy to drive, even by modern standards.
