De Tomaso Longchamp

The De Tomaso Longchamp designed by Tom Tjaarda for Ghia.

Vehicle Overview

The De Tomaso Longchamp was derived from the Deauville four-door saloon, using a shorter wheelbase chassis with the same suspension, engine and transmission. The same platform on which was built the Longchamp underpinned the Maserati Kyalami grand tourer and the Maserati Quattroporte III saloon as Maserati was owned by De Tomaso at the time. The Deauville and the Longchamp were the only front engine production cars produced by De Tomaso. It was first exhibited at the 1972 Turin Motor Show and was initially offered only as a 2-door 2+2 coupé. It was designed by Tom Tjaarda at Ghia and was influenced by his previous Lancia Marica prototype. The taillights were the same units as were used for the Alfa Romeo 1750/2000 saloon. The headlights and front indicators are from the Ford Consul/Granada. The name Longchamp is likely a reference to the Longchamp Racecourse in Paris and/or Longchamps, Buenos Aires, a city near de Tomaso company founder Alejandro de Tomaso’s birthplace. Carrozzeria Pavesi officially converted 14 Longchamps into Spiders .
