Dakar Rally 2009 or 2010 I think. Here's a much larger version.

^^^ What car is that? It's a Pantera, right? But what are the details on that specific model? I've never seen such a nice Pantera! Looks soooooo mean, and I bet it sounds like an f'ing MONSTER in real life... I bet it's one of those throaty cars that spits fire and makes you FEEL every rev in your torso. I'd really like to know what the specs/details are on that thing, and where can I find more pics and video of it, or similar models?

Nevermind, I figured out that it is a DeTomaso Mangusta. Original specs:
# Version: Mangusta
# Chassis: 8MA 1266
# Engine: 302 Ford V8 (302cu/5.0 liters - 230 hp).
# Headlights: Four
# Year built: 1971
After doing some reading, it was aparently a very weak and "lazy" car from the factory, and a lot of them have been restored and upgraded with stiffened chassis (I guess it was a weak point) and engine swaps. I was just reading about a fellow in France who restored his with a Ford 342R, a 302 block stroked to 342 ci. that makes a whopping 430hp (200 more than stock!).
Obviously the one pictured above has been highly modified and looks like it could rape unicorns while drinking the tears of little orphan kids! I love the way that "goose" looks, everything from it's wheels to front spoiler/lip... The car just screams SEX!

Here's the Photoset of the Mangusta I found, it's from an HSR Historic down in Willow Springs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjcam/s...th/4511501774/
