De Tomaso Automobili Ltd. (previously known as De Tomaso Modena SpA) is an Italian car-manufacturing company. It was founded in 1959 by the Argentine Alejandro de Tomaso in Modena. It originally produced various sports prototypes and auto racing vehicles, including a Formula One car for Frank Williams Racing Cars in 1970. Most of the automaker's funding came from Amory Haskell Jr.
In 1971, Ford Motor Company acquired an 84 percent stake in De Tomaso, with Alejandro de Tomaso himself holding the balance. Ford sold back their stake in the automaker in 1974. 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 De Tomaso P72.
