DeTomaso Comeback to Include Three New Modes, First to Debut at Geneva Auto Show
However, times have not been kind to DeTomaso. Their last production car was the Bigua about a decade ago. The company sold the production rights of this car to Qvale, which subsequently sold its underpinnings to the MG Rover Group that produced the SV-R sportscar on that chassis – until they also went bankrupt.
It seemed that DeTomaso was dead for good, but then in 2009, a man by the name of Gianmario Rossignolo, who was formerly the boss of Lancia, bought the rights to the DeTomaso name and started talking about finding a new production facility.
Now it seems he has taken another step forward, as he is talking about revealing a new model at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show. In fact, he revealed to the Italian magazine Quattroroute that he plans on a three model range for the company, a luxury car, an SUV and a sportscar.
Let’s just hope DeTomaso makes a worthy comeback and this time will be back in business for good.
