De Tomaso

De Tomaso is an Italian car-manufacturing company that operates in Modena, Italy.
== Overview ==
De Tomaso Automobili (previously known as De Tomaso Modena SpA) is an italian sport car manufacturer based in Modena. It was founded by the Argentine-born Alejandro de Tomaso (1928–2003). It originally produced various prototypes and racing cars, including a Formula One car for Frank Williams's team in 1970. Most of the funding for the automaker came from de Tomaso's brother-in-law, Amory Haskell Jr, Rowan Industries. In 1971, Ford acquired an 84% stake in De Tomaso from Rowan with Alejandro de Tomaso himself holding the balance. Ford would sell back their stake in the automaker in 1974 to Alejandro. The De Tomaso brand was acquired in 2014 by Hong-Kong based Ideal Team Ventures and in 2019, the newly formed company presented their first product, a retro-styled sports car called the P72.
