Geneva 2011: De Tomaso Deauville is Italian for “Not Pantera”

SLS or SLC? Neither. De Tomaso has pulled back the Geneva Motor Show wraps on its all-new model, and the four-door shall be known, officially, as the Deauville. If you’re experiencing a bit of déjà vu, that’s because the Italian automaker is resurrecting that particular moniker from its 1970s catalog, when it was attached to a much svelter creature than this rather odd looking sedan.

The five-passenger aluminum chassis’d sedan features a 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 under the hood producing 300-horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque from 2,000 to 5,000 rpm. Gear shifts are handled courtesy of a six-speed automatic transmission and power is sent out to all four wheels. The powertrain combination propels the Deauville to a limited top speed of 155 miles per hour, and helps it make the run from 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds. Not too shabby for a sedan that weighs 4,078 pounds.

Rocky — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 17:19:38 +0000

We’ve arrived in L.A. and are pumped for the L.A. Auto Show. We’ll be bringing you coverage for the next two days from the floor of the show. In today’s news, GM CEO Fritz Henderson Resigns, we check out the Audi A8 unveiling and give JF a camera. Also, some news on the 2011 Ford Fiesta a bit before its reveal at the show, and Italian Police wreck their Lamborghini Gallardo, shame on them. While we’re here in L.A. we take a look at Mulholland Drive. That’s all today, from the land of the lost, or something like that. Hosted by Derek DeAngelis.
