Concours Italiana
In 1968, a year after the introduction of the Mangusta, Ghia built a Mangusta
Spyder. Though Giugiaro had left Ghia the year before, he was still acting as
consultant in a freelance capacity. Power was by the Ford 289 cu. in. V8.
A five-speed ZF transmission and limited slip differential were fitted, and
top speed was claimed to be 'more than 150 mph', which was almost certainly
optimistic, since the closed Mangustas were rarely capable of exceeding 145
mph.
Only one was built and De Tomaso sold it to a foreign businessman.

O.K. who knows anything about this car? E.g. when it was created? Technical
