Fantera (United States) - AllCarIndex

Fantera Ltd was established around 1996 in Vista, California, as a manufacturer of kit cars. The company specialized in producing replicas of the DeTomaso Pantera, utilizing the Pontiac Fiero as its base. The Fantera models were noted for their affordability, with completion costs estimated to be under $5,000 in 1996.

The replicas offered by Fantera were characterized by their shorter and taller proportions compared to the original Pantera, resulting in a design that did not accurately reflect the dimensions of the classic sports car. In addition to the standard replica, Fantera also produced a version inspired by the Group 5 racing Pantera, which featured distinctive flared mudguards, a spoiler, and a wing, catering to enthusiasts of motorsport aesthetics.
