Qvale Mangusta

Mangusta


The Qvale Mangusta is a relatively obscure American-Italian sports car produced in the late 1990s. Based on the De Tomaso Mangusta platform, the Qvale version aimed to bring an updated version of this classic Italian design to a wider market. It featured a powerful Ford V8 engine, providing impressive performance for its time. Despite its promising concept, the Qvale Mangusta ultimately suffered from production issues and poor market reception. A combination of quality control problems and insufficient marketing contributed to its relatively short production run and ultimately limited its impact on the automotive landscape. Today, it remains a niche collectible car, known primarily to enthusiasts of Italian-American automotive history.
