1979 De Tomaso Pantera Silhouette Gr. 5 racing at Circuit Paul Ricard!

[@chrisauten2039]

The exhaust system is a work of art in itself!

[@alexhndr]

Group 5 is just something else Its basically what Sillouette cars are inspired from. Wild, wide, planted. With WILD engines to back it up as well. Peak, normality-madness

[@--Zook--]

the pantera will forever hold a special place in my heart as it was the first "fast" car I ever had a ride in. it was a 1978 and my ride was probably in 1984? I would have been 9 at the time. I remember laughing uncontrollably the whole time. We probably never exceeded 100mph, but it was an amazing experience at that age.

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

Those older cars, you FELT the speed. You almost never get to drive 100 MPH on public roads, and that's for the best, but it means that a car that's fun and feels fast at 45 MPH is the one I'd rather drive every day than an insulated 500 HP car that's like riding in a catcher's mitt that's sitting on an overstuffed chair.

[@genericallyaccepted]

My first fast car was a rich kid's Pontiac Trans Am WS6 while in high school. Unreal.

[@CRB1971]

My first seriously 'fast' car experience was the original Audi Quattro when I was about 10: incredible!

[@Hotchpotchsoup]

[@pliashmuldba]

Same here. It was never the race winning car, but damn seeing one 🤤 ( and i did as a kid,,, i was 13 in 1979 ) well almost the first time something grew in my pants. With a substantial lotto win, well for sure the kind of car i would be looking to buy and drive. Not long after i tried to sit in a Lambo LP400, but nope,,,, just nope and even then it was a too small car for me ( the pantera probably are too ) LP 400 just a horrible ugly car.

I legit never knew there was a Gr.5 version of the Pantera. So this is a nice surprise.

There were even wonky Gr. C/GTP conversions. Not pretty or successful

[@lorenzogaluppi181]

a ground effect Pantera was also created to compete in the Australian championship. It won every race it ever took place in before being banned and it was called "la pantera bianca", which translates to the white panther in italian

This is something I have never said in my life... This video is put together unbelievably well. Someone knows how to cover a day of track time like I have never experienced, not even on national television.

[@amindamok]

Still one of the best looking cars ever made.

[@stratobungle]

Absolutely love the 4th generation Group 5 Silhouette racers - All of them! And even though it didn't perform particularly well, the Lancia Stratos Turbo was my favorite. Also loved the oddballs like the Fiat X1/9 Icsunonove Dallara, and the Zakspeed Lotus Europa... Thanks for the video upload!

[@19Bozzy92]

No problem at all! Thanks for watching

Rumor has it they were originally going to make the car wider, but they ran out of wide.

Seen one once in a little village in Mallorca / Spain. You would not believe how low they are in reality. Incredible proportions.

[@stackoverflow1985]

Wow, what a beautiful car design, simply perfect!

[@KepleroGT]

Group 5 should be in every racing game

[@Bsc8]

Only Project Cars has that, but with not all the cars sadly... You can mod Assetto Corsa but the sounds are not well made like in PC1 and PC2.

[@reldwob22]

There’s the Nissan in GT7!

[@faketaxidriver5651]

Grid 2019 & Grid Legends also have Gr.5 cars in limited numbers. If you want to play wide range of Gr.5 cars, play modded AC & GTR2. GT7 is too busy with VGTs lol

[@kelpshakeandy.v7663]

Assetto corsa has a fairly huge group 5 collection if ur willing to look hard enough. If anyone reading this needs help finding anything let me know I might have it.

[@markhatch1267]

Just discovered your channel. My father was a race engine builder (60's-90's). In support of customers, to keep them from building cars that would poorly reflect on our engines, I learned the features and details required for a car to be good at whatever level of modification regulations permit. Every once in a while, I discover a car that is a shining example of how a car ought to be done. This certainly is one of those! Thanks for sharing!

[@snail415]

Just the condition of that car alone is mesmerizing.

[@larrykay6606]

Imagine pulling into your local Cars and Coffee meet in that car. Showstopper!

[@southerncarguy1692]

I got to see this car out on track at Daytona earlier this month and man the flames that this car shoots are crazy.

[@cavscout62]

The “Bundle Od Snakes” headers on the Panteras were an absolutely beautiful thing especially when viewed in person. A friend’s older Brother owned a pair of Blue Panteras when we were both about 10-12 years old and the older Brother had uncorked the smog crap on the engines and rejetted and headered them which really changed the performance of those Clevelands. Twice he took us for rides out I-10w, both of us sharing the right seat and it was glorious! There wasn’t a car of any make that would hang with the Pantera we rode in out there on that highway and we would come back from those rides glassy eyed and adrenaline filled! Thanks for the memories Bill!

[@drewmurray2583]

It's like a car from the future, from the past. Saw one in person in Edmonton Alberta back in 2016.

(gesturing to me) and I just said "no" my dad damn near smacked me and said "That's a once in a life time thing man, you gotta do it!" I ended up sitting in it, really cool car!
