Warren Mosler has been producing his unique brand of supercar for 20 years now, starting with the unholy ugliness of the Consulier GTP and culminating, at least thus far, with the new MT900 GTR XX seen above. From the quirky-looking Consulier to the much slicker current car, Mosler has never had to make any excuses for his vehicles' performance or advanced construction techniques. They've always been fast, and they've always been on the cutting edge of build science. This new alphabet-soup Mosler is only available to European buyers, and is essentially a roadgoing version of the MT900 R racer, with the XX suffix designating 20 years of production. The GTR XX is undergoing testing at Florida's Homestead Raceway to dial in the suspension and dynamic tuning of the carbon-fiber-constructed, LS7-powered, scorchingly fast supercar. Once the adjustable coil-overs and swaybars are dialled in, lucky Europeans will be able to put an MT900 GTR XX in their garages. Mosler fans in the United States will only be able to drool as they gaze across the Atlantic with really powerful binoculars.

you know i was gonna say it has been more successful then the S7 but im not sure cause the S7 has won more important races compared to the Mosler.

I'm sure that is fast but, It looks like a Saleen S7 with McLaren F1 doors and a C4 Vette tail light swap. :rolleyes:

This car was designed around the same time as the S7 and both were released around the turn of the millennium but go about things very differently. For 1.

The s7 cost 3 times more and was not much faster. The tails and powerplant were first from a c5 vette so there was that influence but it also kept the price down.

The best way to understand the MT900 is to think of what a Lotus Exige would look like with 600hp.

Mosler's car are drivers cars first and everything else second.

I feel it is the most under appreciated and most underrated car in the world but to drive it is to be impressed by it.

funny how many years have gone and we still hate it this much.
