Er zijn een groot aantal Pantera's bij (80 ongeveer !), die uit alle hoeken van Europa komen. Zij zullen hun V8 laten ronken om de veertigste verjaardag te vieren van de beroemdste creatie van Alejandro, in aanwezigheid van Santiago De Tomaso zelf, zoon van de geniale ontwerper.  Als bewijs van het entousiasme dat dit evenement veroorzaakt, toont SpaItalia ook de gloednieuwe Deauville, die onlangs in wereldpremière werd voorgesteld op het salon van Genève. De kers op de gigantische taart. Bovendien zullen ook de voornaamste verantwoordelijken van dit opnieuw ontluikende merk aanwezig
