Masters of Metal: The Art of De Tomaso Jewelry
Aug 19, 2024



In the world of automotive design, some creations transcend the ordinary, transforming function into art. De Tomaso’s latest series of jewelry-inspired finishes for the P72 embodies this philosophy, setting a new standard in automotive luxury.
These meticulously crafted pieces, conceived by the De Tomaso Design Team and brought to life by the expert artisans at Kussmaul, are far more than mere components. They pay tribute to the spirit of 1960s design, reimagined with modern craftsmanship.
For those who experienced the P72 concept at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the impact of De Tomaso’s analog-centric design was unmistakable. In 2024, we are advancing this vision by incorporating the finest handcrafted jewelry elements into the production P72.
