The De Tomaso Deauville was a luxury four-door saloon first exhibited at Turin Motor Show 1970. The Deauville was powered by the same 351 in³ (5763 cc) Ford Cleveland V8 as the De Tomaso Pantera, rated at 330 hp (246 kW; 335 PS). The car had a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph) and featured styling similar to that of the Jaguar XJ.[1]
The Deauville had an independent rear suspension very similar to that used by Jaguar, and ventilated discs front and aft.[2] It shares its chassis with the Maserati Quattroporte III.
A total of 244[1] cars were produced.[3] There were three Deauville variants: the early series 1 (1970–1974: serial number 10##, 11## and 12##), late series 1 (1975–1977: serial numbers 14##) and the series 2 (1978–1985: serial numbers 20## and 21##).
One Deauville station wagon was made for Mr. De Tomaso's wife.[1] There were also two armoured Deauvilles produced, one for the Belgian Royal Family and the other for the Italian government. The latter is on display in the Museo delle Auto della Polizia di Stato in Rome.[4]
2011 concept car
At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show de Tomaso has presented a new model.[5] The new Deauville is a five-door crossover vehicle with all-wheel drive, which in the detail of its styling quotes models from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.[6] The range would include two gasoline engines with 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) and 500 PS (368 kW; 493 hp) as well as a Diesel from VM Motori and 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp). A sports car and a limousine De Tomaso would follow.[7]
