Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Trying to re-do the Mangusta: https://gearpatrol.com/2012/01/03/detomaso-mangusta-legacy-concept/ The front tire clearance leaves a bit to be desired. Pot holes? We don’t need no stinking potholes!
The model is still the design sketch BUT even when it gets a taller roof and more front wheel travel clearance the design will continue to hold together. Nicely done.
I’m not a fan of ‘retro design’ but this does keep the clean look the original had. In this day & age, that in and of itself is a major win
A friend of mine used to have a Mangusta back in the day. I loved those triple louvres on the "C" pillar but dispised the rear split window. The photo below illustrates how much the greenhouse might need to expand for the concept. Sitting in the car was like reclining in a chaise lounge. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Difficult to believe it was on the scene before Touring did the Interceptor. Seems they borrowed 85 % - 90 % of the car for their offer to Jensen.

IMHO, the car looks much better in low-light situations where all the ginger-bread details become obscured. Image Unavailable, Please Login An insect has too many body parts to be very "clean" or attractive: Image Unavailable, Please Login

IMHO the Spanish guys are ahead.....tho not by much How many groups will get to call themselves "Hispano Suiza" in this time of competing/conflicting trademarks?
Hey, you should have seen the original draft before they gave the front end a root canal! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Gotta say.....thats looking suspiciously like my Audi R8.......tho with really bad dental work and a cheap shave......
Moving on.......the next new design headed to Geneva....the Piech. Sound familiar? https://insideevs.com/mark-zero-electric-car-revealed-vw-porsche/ Image Unavailable, Please Login
Does that look a little bit like an Aston Martin cross-bred with a Shelby Daytona to anyone else? Or is it just me? I wonder why the architecture is classic sportscar when it's an electric. Looks like it should be front ICE and RWD. Also... a certain someone is going to say the wheels are too damn big. All the best, Andrew.
