The resurgent De Tomaso has announced that the legendary Pantera is set to return before the end of the year. De Tomaso will unveil the reborn super coupe at the LA motor show in November, almost exactly 40 years after the car was first launched on the market.

The new Pantera will be the second fruit of a new three-model line-up, the first of which (the frankly odd DeAuville SUV - below right) has been launched today at the Geneva show. The final part of the De Tomaso revival will come in the form of an all-new limousine, which is due on sale in 2012.
