De Tomaso Mangusta

The De Tomaso Mangusta reaches 60 mph in 4.98 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.48 s, tripping the lights at 105.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s and the eighth mile in 8.83 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.90 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Mangusta

The 1966 De Tomaso Mangusta is a rear-drive electric car of 1,185 kg with 302 bhp, which works out at 255 bhp per tonne. With full torque from a standstill it clears the first 60 ft in 2.30 s, and the question for an electric car is usually not the launch but whether it keeps pulling: it trips the quarter-mile lights at 105.6 mph. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,379th quickest to 60 mph. Its 105.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the De Tomaso Mangusta?
Closest here on pace: Honda Civic Type R FK2 (4.98 s), Subaru Impreza Turbo STI PPP (4.92 s), Panoz Esperante (4.93 s). Each one can be raced against the De Tomaso Mangusta in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The De Tomaso Mangusta is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
