De Tomaso

Consumer Discretionary

De Tomaso is an Italian car maker, formerly De Tomaso Modena SpA, founded in 1959 in Modena by the Argentine Alejandro de Tomaso. It began with sports prototypes and racing cars, including a 1970 Formula One car for Frank Williams, and went on to the Ford powered Vallelunga, Mangusta, Pantera and Guara and the Deauville and Longchamp luxury cars. Ford bought an 84 percent stake in 1971 and sold it back in 1974. Between 1973 and 1993 the firm owned Moto Guzzi and from 1976 to 1993 Maserati, whose Biturbo and Quattroporte III it produced. It went into liquidation in 2004 after the death of its founder in 2003, a buyer revived the trademark in 2009, and Hong Kong based Ideal Team Ventures bought the brand in 2015 and showed the De Tomaso P72 in 2019.
