The De Tomaso Guar? is a sports car and the last project of the founder and owner Alejandro de Tomaso put into the market. Presented at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show, the Guar? was available as a coup? and later as a spider and also as an open barchetta. First, the Guar? was built using technology and interior parts from BMW but later all cars came equipped with Ford/Visteon (Canada) parts and engines. The Guar? was never homologated for US sale, although one engineless example was sent to the US importer of De Tomasos. In total, approximately 50 units were built.
