The New Mangusta

I don't see a Mangusta, I see a Lambo...

Sadly I would have to agree, nose is too short, tail too long, lines are more Lambo than Mangusta

I like it, but do agree, need to change the look of the lambo style front side grill things and it needs the split rear engine covers to carry on the tradition. also, as much as i like the really low roof line and radical windscreen rake, i think it might be a little too unrealistic with it being that low ... looks tuff tho!!

DeTomaso should be building stuff like that! And also an equally as tuff looking Pantera!

I like it. Make mine a targa!

They really need to make this car this radical to compete with all the modern exotics. The roof like IS unrealisticly low but I'm sure it they do decide to take it out of the concept to the prototype stage, the will be raised or the floor lowered. At least you won't need a sun visor, or a very thin one like on the Vantage or Gallardo.

I like it, although does have the elements that look like they were taken from the Lamborghini Aventador from the side.

Please build it. I'll buy that for a $1

Let's not miss the fact that this is a 2 dimensional styling concept not ordered nor paid for by DeTomaso Inc. Anyone with a good eye and a pencil can dream up a body shape. Causing a drawing to become real in metal is hard, and selling the thing to a company already in financial difficulties, in a country on the edge of bankruptcy, is even harder. Various outside styling exercises for a 'new' Pantera have been ignored by DeTomaso so far, so don't expect to see this thing driving around any time soon. Too bad; I like it except for the rear fender flairs.

Nice concept. I suppose if the countach can be made to work, so could this.
