<div>'''De Tomaso Mangusta''' was a [[sports car]] from [[Italy|Italian]] automobile manufacturer [[De Tomaso]] between [[1967]] and [[1970]], replacing the [[De Tomaso Vallelunga|Vallelunga]] model. The word "Mangusta" is Latin for "Mongoose". It was De Tomaso's hope that the Mangusta would eat Ford's Cobra for lunch. That never happened and was replaced by [[De Tomaso Pantera]] in [[1971]].<br />
<br />
The Mangusta has a [[Mid-engine design|mid-mounted]] [[V8]] engine. [[Giorgetto Giugiaro]] designed the car, which is easily recognised by its [[Gull-wing doors|gull wing]] style doors over the engine and luggage compartment. <br />
<br />
The Mangusta name was revived in the late 1990s and early 2000s when the concept car [[De Tomaso Bigua]] became the [[Qvale Mangusta]], after a dispute between De Tomaso and business partner [[Qvale]].<br />
<br />
The Mangusta had a recent onscreen appearance as the car driven by [[Bill (Kill Bill)|Bill]] in the movie [[Kill Bill]], Volume 2. This is also the car Kylie Minogue drives in the beginning of her "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" music video.<br />
