De Tomaso Vallelunga

Fissore · 1964

The De Tomaso Vallelunga is a foundational mid-engine sports car. Its aluminium Fissore body, Ford Kent engine and Volkswagen transaxle formed a lightweight, race-derived package—built in just fifteen examples before production shifted to Ghia. It is historically significant but physically sparse: no performance data, no driver testimonials, no surviving service history. Its value lies entirely in its architecture and provenance—not its execution.
