what car is this?
my friend saw this and took a picture... im stumped. I cant find anything close with a small drivers vent window like it has. She said it looked European and had a rectangular emblem on the back.
EDIT: nevermind, someone else got it. Its a Qvale Mangusta.... we all shoulda known that 
"Production of the steaply priced Mangusta lasted just two years, with 276 cars completed"
Bits and pieces are FORD mainly the engine. a lot of Mustang parts someone mentioned.
Cost $80k new.
2001

If the company spelled like that, no wonder they didn't make many cars. They had no quality control!

I saw a worked to balls Noble M400 once. Guy said it dynoed something ridiculous like 560 RWHP. Caged, huge tires, sounded like the turbos could suck a small child through the intake. He apparently races it at the amateur track races and has a ton of certifications on his windshield.
