The car from 1965 was originally designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and was built from 1965 till 1971 (first 3 pictures below).
It distinguished itself from the rest with its gullwing engine bay doors, quad headlights and low height (1100mm).
Only 401 pieces of this special car were produced, and only 170 are remaining today.
The artist wanted to highlight all these features but with a modern tint.
De Keiser explains, "Like the original, it had to be spectacular and communicate an impression of wild ferocity and power while recalling the serenity of a feline at rest, and the elegance of the animal that doesn't need to fear anything."
On the pictures in the Pgallery, click the bottom picture, you will see the green Mangusta that is a 3D model of the original model followed by the Mangusta Legacy Concept and then a Super Sport version.
