[DeTomaso] Mangusta Legacy: Your Thoughts???

[doug sedon]

hi all,

from the front and rear, the car looks great,  but, from the side, while it looks nice, it is ruined by the hour-glass shape, and needs to be in one plane between the wheels - as others have said, it looks like a lambo, from this angle.  the mangusta's appeal is its clean straight lines when wiewed from the side.  and, in the article, it states:

"The car had a distinctive silhouette with a height of just 1,100 mm, and featured a very large windscreen, gullwing doors, and an essential 
interior."  


i think they mistook the doors for the hood.  the concept really needs to lose those gull-wing door abominations.  regular doors, please.  do a gullwing hood, if you want...  (also lose rising the rear wing.)

all that said, i much prefer the pantera concept shown on the website prowided by mr zeedick:

i want one!

holly hippodaze to all!
