Reports are surfacing that De Tomaso’s could soon be rolling off an assembly line. Allegedly an Italian industrialist named Gian Mario Rossingnolo has already purchased a Pininfarina factory in which to build the new De Tamasos and tried to purchase Bertone earlier this year.

The new De Tomaso factory’s ambitious plan is to build 8,000 aluminum-bodied cars per year. Including a Luxury Sedan, Coupe, and SUV. The cars should be on display at the next Geneva Motor show, we are hoping that as all great De Tomaso’s in the past that these cars will be powered by big Ford V8’s. A GT500 powered Pantera sounds good to us.
