Mangusta’s Maxi Open 165 REV is an evolution of the Italian builder’s classic 165, which has seen a dozen hulls delivered since 2007. The updated model adds living space, moves the owner’s stateroom from the lower level to the main deck, and maintains the sporty, open look that has long appealed to fans of the Mangusta brand.
Igor Lobanov at Lobanov Design in Spain was tapped to work with Mangusta on the new model after Maurizio Balducci, CEO of Mangusta’s parent. Lobanov says his background in transportation and automotive design further inspired his work on the Mangusta REV, as did keeping the 165’s original Italian style.
