Yes, but their corresponding founders are both Argentines (which is a source of pride for them), they developed as engineers in their country, if you want it another way, they are "Argentine brands", adopted by Italy, of course the cars are developed in Europe where the market is and the minds according to the work are from many parts of the world.
Of course the engines are bought, but even I was surprised that other several parts are made in Argentina, even Ferrari has managed parts manufactured in Argentina for decades, the DeTomaso logo says a lot.
So I am talking about the achievement of being independent in today's world and each one being born from a single man.
De Tomaso didn't survive alone, I hope Pagani does
Or you could say they both came home. Both are Italian Argentinians, Pagani's dad was born in Italy, and DeTomaso's paternal grandfather was Italian. The brands were started by both men long after they moved to Italy, the companies were founded in Italy and are Italian companies, not Argentinian. If you want to go down that road then Porsche is an Austrian brand.
