Introducing Tesoro
Tesoro by Dione Motorcars is a ground-up reinterpretation of a legendary Italian automobile. Each customer-supplied vehicle is comprehensively transformed, with virtually every element reengineered, revamped and refined
Heart of a Lion
Tesoro is powered by a 4.9 liter 12-cylinder engine upgraded and finely tuned with all new electronic fuel injection. Performance is old school smooth and liner accelleration, with an engine note that isn’t just sound — it’s symphony of audio perfection.
Visible through an all-new glass engine cover, the look of the individual throttle bodies is a throwback tribute to the great Italian race cars from the 1950’s.
DRIVER ENGAGEMENT
Driving characteristics have been transformed to a modern supercar feel. With a revamped the driver position, revised steering assembly and the addition of speed-sensitive power steering, Tesoro is a driver’s dream for engagement and feel for the road.
Extensive chassis reengineering includes an upgraded subframe, integrated rollover protection, reinforced side-trellis structures, and a precision-engineered strut brace — all designed to maximize lateral rigidity and overall structural balance.
technical innovation
Tesoro enjoys dramatic technology advances including a cutting-edge multi-damper coilover suspension, delivering sharper handling, flatter cornering, and a level of ride sophistication worthy of a modern grand tourer.
Braking power comes from an all-new system engineered specifically for Tesoro, featuring state of the art 6-piston front and 4-piston rear monobloc calipers over drilled rotors for greatly improved heat dissipation.
And our one-off retro-cool forged wheels, influenced by classic two-piece designs, provide an emotional connection to its heritage.
re-styled elegance
Tesoro has been re-sculpted with modern design language into an elegant convertible with a removable hardtop, blending the car’s timeless proportions with contemporary refinement.
Subtle applications of carbon fiber integrate the new spoilers and diffuser into the car’s flowing architecture, enhancing both visual balance and aerodynamic presence.
enhancing an icon
Iconic design elements such as the signature side strakes are now thoughtfully echoed in the innovative all-new LED taillights as well as interior and engine bay architectures.
Every styling change has been carefully considered to build upon the sculptural drama of the original, resulting in a design that feels both warmly familiar and entirely new.
INTERIOR artistry
Inside, Tesoro unveils an entirely new interior, meticulously crafted with bespoke materials developed exclusively for this project. Every surface presents a fresh interpretation of form and flow, defined by soft, subtle curves that flow in harmony with the exterior form.
Our focus is to optimize ergonomics and comfort, as well as sophistication to achieve a level of luxury and design-forward creativity rarely seen in the automotive world.
Wonderfully Analog
Tesoro captures the visceral thrill of open-top, 12-cylinder motoring while preserving the pure, analog soul of the original. From its gated five-speed manual transmission to its beautifully restyled analog instrumentation and the deliberate absence of electronic driver aids, every element serves one purpose — to reconnect man (and woman) with the machine.
True to the original yet enhanced with 40 years of technical innovation, this is a true driver’s car, engineered for those who still believe in the art of control.
