Qvale Mangusta
The late ’90s brought Qvale as a new player on the international sports car scene. The project started as a DeTomaso concept, but it was continued as a Qvale since DeTomaso went out of business. Under the sleek and modern design, there were quite a few Ford Mustang parts, including a 4.6-liter V8 engine and dashboard (via Top Gear).
The most interesting feature of this car was the roof, and each Mangusta was also a coupe, Targa, and a convertible thanks to an interesting retractable hard top system that allowed several positions. Unfortunately, the car wasn’t well-received and was discontinued in 2002 after only 284 cars left the factory.
