Thread: De Tomaso Mangusta Concept - HOT

These renderings present Maxime de Keiser’s vision of a modern De Tomaso Mangusta, based on the historic, late-60′s supercar. Maxime decided to incorporate a fresh design blending aspects of the original Ghia bodywork, with a number of modern-day elements to make the Mangusta come to life again.

The De Tomaso Mangusta began life as the De Tomaso Vallelunga, the model it replaced. On top of the Vallelunga chassis sat a Ford 289 V8 engine with 306hp for European cars, a Ford 302 V8 with 220hp for the US and a five-speed ZF transaxle gearbox. It had a top speed of 250km/h despite being a relatively inexpensive supercar. If you’re wondering what ‘Mangusta’ means, it translates, from Italian to Mongoose, on account of the fact that a Mongoose could kill a Cobra (both literally and in the sense of Carroll Shelby’s Shelby Cobra!). Only 401 were ever built.

Pretty badass...i want to see its arse.

That's a bingo on so many levels.

It looks like a mixture of a DeLorean, a Camaro, and a Gallardo. . . . DeCamardo

Actually thats where I found the pics. I was looking up Will I Am's custom delorean, came accross a delorean forum, where someone posted this pic with the DMC badge photoshopped on. I think it looks great in the virtual world, would love to see it get produced

Looks sick!

Reminds me a little of the BMW M1 concept/homage that they produced a few years back.

De Tomaso makes another 'hit' with their design. although I found this design a bit... I dont know! 80's? it looks a bit archaic and muscular. somewhat reminds me of 'back to the past'
