Reply to "A Legend Reborn: De Tomaso Returns with a New Pantera"

Rossignolo acquired De Tomaso in 2009. Of course he got in trouble for mis-using the funds the banks intended for the business. He landed in prison in 2012.

So in 2012 De Tomaso was again up for sale by the Italian authorities. There were rumors circa 2013 and 2014 that De Tomaso was acquired by ATS, Lotus, or Genii Capital. Were those rumors, or was there a transaction that fell through? I never really heard.

ITV acquired De Tomaso from the Italian authorities in 2015. They are a serious group. And they've already "started-up" one automobile company, i.e. Apollo Automobil. De Tomaso is their second venture. Unlike Rosignolo these folks want to honor the marque's history and establish a rapport with existing owners. As far as I'm concerned they seem to be doing everything right so far. This year's staged roll-out has been in planning a long time. I'm very curious to see the car they will be unveiling.
