Vehicle Overview |
|
De Tomaso’s first production car manufactured in significant volume, the Mangusta was a remarkable car when first unveiled at the Turin Motor Show in 1966. The Mangusta is beautifully styled and featured a mid-mounted power plant. The name is directly related to the contender Ford Cobra, since the only animal feared by the Cobra is the Mangusta (Mongoose).The car represented one of the first high performance mid-engined road cars produced in any significant numbers - Like the Muira the specification was very modern, with independent suspension and disc brakes all around, ZF 5-speed transaxle, and a very low and attractive body styled by Giugiaro.
The engine was a Ford-sourced 289(Europe) or 302(USA) Windsor V8, which combined with the car’s light weight made for excellent performance. By the time production ended to make way for the Pantera, around 400 had been built; making them quite rare.
