	Born in Argentina of a prominent political family, de Tomaso fled to Italy – from where his paternal grandfather had emigrated – in his late twenties after being implicated in a plot to overthrow the Argentinian president, Juan Perón. He started his career in the car industry as a racing driver for [[Maserati]] and [[O.S.C.A.]] and married Isabelle Haskell, an American heiress who also raced cars.		Born in Argentina of a prominent political family, de Tomaso fled to Italy – from where his paternal grandfather had emigrated – in his late twenties after being implicated in a plot to overthrow the Argentinian president, Juan Perón. He started his career in the car industry as a racing driver for [[Maserati]] and [[O.S.C.A.]] and married Isabelle Haskell, an American heiress who also raced cars.

	In 1959 he founded the [[De Tomaso]] car company in Modena, originally to build prototypes and racing cars, which included a [[Formula One\|Formula 1]] car for Frank Williams's team in 1970. De Tomaso then turned to high-performance sports cars, most of which used aluminium backbone [[chassis]], which were to become the company's technical trademark. [[De Tomaso]] cars include the two-door, mid-engined [[De Tomaso Vallelunga\|Vallelunga]], [[De Tomaso Mangusta\|Mangusta]] and [[De Tomaso Pantera\|Pantera]]; the [[De Tomaso Deauville\|Deauville]], a four-door saloon resembling the [[Jaguar XJ6]]; and the [[De Tomaso Longchamp\|Longchamp]], a two-door coupé version of the [[De Tomaso Deauville\|Deauville]] which later formed the basis of the [[Maserati]] [[Maserati Kyalami\|Kyalami]]. [[De Tomaso]]'s most recent product has been the [[De Tomaso Guarà\|Guarà]], a two-door sports car with a [[carbon fibre]] bodyshell.

	During the 1960s and 1970s, de Tomaso acquired a number of Italian industrial holdings. As well as the [[Ghia]] and [[Vignale]] coachbuilding studios, he gained control of the [[Benelli]] and [[Moto Guzzi]] motorcycle firms, the [[Innocenti]] car company (founded as an offshoot of the [[British Motor Corporation]] to build [[Mini]]s in Italy), and, in 1975, the celebrated sports car maker [[Maserati]], which he rescued from bankruptcy with the assistance of the Italian government. Over time, however, he sold many of his holdings; [[Innocenti]] and [[Maserati]] were sold to [[Fiat]] (which promptly closed the former) in 1993.
