Gran Toros / Sputafuoco Mantis

The Mantis, Mattel model number 6625, is one of three Hot Wheels cars that were carried over to the Gran Toros series (the other two were the Silhouette and the TwinMill). It was never released as a Mebetoys series model and is a beautiful rendition of this concept car.
