Carrera Digital 132 De Tomaso Pantera "No. 7"

Item No. 31044


I actually thought of the title "pretty in pink" as a title for the latest De Tomaso Pantera Group 5.
Only the color doesn't match. And the latest 1:32 scale vibrating press isn't pink, but aubergine.

Aubergine...
Yes, I know, this is a very difficult field for men: men are simply wired! For us, there are complementary colors. According to Hering's process model, these would be blue, yellow, red, and green. According to Goethe's color theory, violet would at least be included.

But these days, there are tons of other colors that have nothing to do with the classic color model. Women understand that immediately, men never do. Lilac? It's a plant (and, of course, a color). Mallow? Ditto. Neither is edible, and therefore, from the perspective of a non-vegetarian Central European man, completely uninteresting. Green salad, cucumber, arugula, etc.: Edible vegetables. So, a side dish for grilled meat. Which actually makes it uninteresting again... (I'm coming out as a complete stranger; I love salad and vegetables). But notice something: The stuff mentioned doesn't represent colors!

But I digress, back to the car.
The PANTERA standing in front of me is, from a male perspective, purple. My wife immediately called it an eggplant. (Eggplant is a fruit vegetable that even I don't like.)

But: Aubergine = color! And that was probably the designer's intention: why else would he have written BEAU BERGINE as the driver's name?
In any case, the aubergine and yellow combination provides a very nice, contemporary color contrast for the race car. To be honest, the other prints on the vehicle are only partially clear to me at this point.
VIBES CONTRACTORS, i.e. vibratory press or vibratory roller, I'll allow some passage for the monstrously wide Italian with an American heart and its powerful rollers on the rear.
STEADFAST (for the shock absorbers)? Means Unwavering. Fine by me. It suits the car.
But what the hell does the designer mean by ZERO IN REALTORS?
That translates to: Real estate agent at zero. I'll be honest, I have no idea what that could mean. Slottus simply explained it as contemporary advertising.

Otherwise, we're simply delighted that the wonderful DE TOMASO is once again releasing 1:32 scale models this year! The Italian-American is still burning hot on the track, even if it's no longer the latest design.
