De Tomaso
Among the 15 De Tomaso entries in the MotorJury library, the De Tomaso P900 holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts.
The record does not fix a firm introduction year for the De Tomaso P900, which is itself informative: cars without a clean launch date are usually prototypes, coachbuilt specials, or models whose history was written down long after the fact. The catalogue keeps them anyway, because the odd corners of the record are where the interesting machines hide.
On paper, the De Tomaso P900 reads like this: the record lists its engine as 4200 cc Judd (engine)#GV4.2 / Judd GV4.2 V10 engine / V10 / Bespoke 6200 cc V12 engine / V12; quoted output is 775 bhp @ 11,000 rpm / 585 N.m / (Judd V10 Engine) / 888 bhp @ 12,300 rpm / 1000 N.m / (Bespoke V12 Engine); kerb weight is recorded at 900 kg (dry); drive goes through 6-speed Xtrac sequential manual transmission; the layout is Rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 861 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear. Production is recorded at 18 units, which makes it a genuine rarity — most enthusiasts will never see one in person.
Within De Tomaso's own catalogue the De Tomaso P900 sits alongside the De Tomaso 505/38, the De Tomaso Deauville, the De Tomaso Deauville, the De Tomaso F1. Design is credited to Jowyn Wong. Assembly is recorded at Germany: Affalterbach.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the De Tomaso P900 was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
