Well, you probably already know this, but Kjell Qvale was one of the major original importer of the original DeTomaso Mangusta.
He was working with Alejandro at the end of career to develop and import the second generation Mangusta.
I agree it doesn't exactly align with the progression of the original Mangusta -> Pantera lineage, but you have to give the guys credit for trying!
