[alfa] De Tomaso Details

[Darryl Davis <D.N.Davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Details on the Mangusta, other De Tomaso
 and every Italian car maker on CarsfromItaly website
 see: http://www.carsfromitaly.com/others/index.html
For example:
A mid-engined rear wheel drive two seater, the Mangusta was really
a thinly disguised racing car. Powered by a 4.8-litre (5-litre in
the US) Ford V8 (with iron cylinder heads and block) with 305bhp
driving through a five speed ZF transmission, it had independent
suspension and disc brakes all round. The steel backbone chassis
was clothed in a steel and aluminium (for the hinged panels) body
designed by Giugiaro, at Ghia at that time. With its race track
pedigree, the interior was rather basic,
Around 400 examples were built until 1971.
