De Tomaso Mangusta was an Italian sports car, projected by Giorgetto Giugiaro and manufactured in 1965 and 1971 in a limited edition, of only 401 cars. Supposedly, only 170 units have been preserved throughout nowadays.
Nevertheless, at 40 years after the end of producing the Mangusta model, a modern designer named Maxime de Keiser wondered what a modern version of the De Tomaso would look like. Therefore, he created a digital concept which he called De Tomaso Mangusta Legacy Concept.
The artist preserved the original model's shapes, without modifying the original version too much.
The De Tomaso Mangusta Legacy Concept has adapted its lines to modern tendencies and can be accessorized with all the modern gadgets from nowadays cars.
According to the designer who built the 3D prototype, the new model "must transmit the impression of a wild force and elegance of an animal that isn't afraid of anything". At the same time, Maxime de Keiser has emphasized that the car must speak aggressiveness even in the static frames as a wild feline does in the moments it rests.
