Video: De Tomaso SLC Concept looks like a BMW 5GT fighter


Now here's a question worth shelves of your precious brain. If you were asked to choose between the recently released De Tomaso SLC concept and a BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo would the park in your driveway? If you opted for a used Audi RS6 Avant, congratulations, you just made our holiday card list.

However, it is difficult to draw comparisons made between the recently unveiled De Tomaso and awkwardly proportioned 5-Series family of tractors. Both vehicles have managed the crossover sedan and the rich in a way that few other cars to merge.

Although we have already opened a few pictures of the De Tomaso SLC concept, a video of the vehicle has now made its way onto the Internet. The quick clip gives us a slightly better look at what the vehicle to bring to the table if it is an official unveil early next month at the Geneva Motor Show. Here is hoping it looks better in the flesh. Hit the jump for a look-see by your own.

De Tomaso revival effort shown ahead of Geneva


Behold, the De Tomaso SLC concept in all its, uh, glory. If you're like us, this probably is not the first thing sprang to mind when you heard that De Tomaso is raised (again) from the ashes of bankruptcy for a triumphant return to the world stage. The company says that the SLC is a luxury sport crossover.
Despite its compact proportions and a bit strange, this thing should be to drive an explosion. According to reports, under the hood sits a 524-hp V8 engine, although buyers should also either should choose a 296-horsepower V6 or a 247-hp turbo diesel with six-pot their hearts - and wallets - so desire.
De Tomaso said that the SLC concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show next month and expect that we can bend, a production run of 3,000 units from next year. The price for this fine piece of technology is expected to sit at a cool € 85,000 - about $ 115k Yankee dollars. Better start saving your milk money.
If you were hoping something more along the lines of the infamous Pantera, never see fear. Word is that the company is hard at work on developing a spiritual successor to the animal with a four-door sedan to the Porsche Panamera Tango. Check out the link below for more images.
