2001 Qvale Mangusta<\/h2>\n

Designed by Marcello Gandini, known for his work on the Countach and Diablo.\u00a0The Qvale Mangusta was\u00a0produced in very small\u00a0numbers in Italy by the Qvale between 2000 and 2002.<\/p>\n

The Mangusta uses a front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, and is powered by a Ford 4.6L DOHC V8. It was offered with either a BorgWarner T45 5-speed manual gearbox or a 4-speed automatic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The chassis of the Mangusta was designed by former Formula 1 designer Enrique Scalabroni\u00a0and\u00a0was\u00a0formed of welded steel sections with body panels were resin-transfer moulding (RTM) plastic.<\/p>\n

Automotive journalists and testers praised the car for its performance and handling, and for the utility of the roto-top. Some build quality issues were noted on early cars, and the reaction to the unconventional styling was mixed.<\/p>\n
