Mosler just delivered its first MT 900S supercar to a "prominent California film maker" in Anaheim. We don't know any prominent filmmakers in Anaheim, but we do know of a large theme park whose founder also dabbled in films. And it WOULD be fun to take this for a spin around the park after hours. Drown out the It's a Small World kids with that rippin' Corvette V-8. Who needs a Fast Pass when you have the keys to a Mosler? But we digress. This is notable because it is the first street-legal production version of the MT 900, with all previous vehicles configured for competition.
The MT 900S is the 435 horsepower, mid-engined supercar that weighs about a hundred pounds less than a Civic. It can do 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds on its charge to a top speed somewhere well past the double century mark. Handling is racecar-like, which is understandable in this racecar for the road. It's also the first production vehicle to be factory-equipped with carbon fiber wheels. We'll keep an eye out for it around Orange County and try to bum a ride so we can give you a first-hand account of how it really feels inside.

Awesome Car.
If someone can afford one of these I am sure they can afford to drop in a built LS7 pushing 600+ horsepower but I guess that would create some traction problems...

Looks like a poor mans McLaren F1 GTR

Way better looking than the Mosler Raptor. God that was an ugly car.

Obviously this car seems to be a power monster. We run a Limousine service in Munich and have almost every european supercar for rent, that´s why we have had the possibility to drive all these cars personally also, but even for us it´ll be impossible to drive this car on our own.
Does anybody know if it will be delivered to Europe as well. I bet our clients would rent it.

Wow, this is the first street legal one? I know I saw one on the road before. Of course it was at night and near Willow Springs.

It does. The MT900S will be a killer on the street. I'd take a Noble over it, but oh well.

Wheels look like the same ones available for the Koenigsegg. Seems everyone have forgotten the Ultima GTR, which I think is better looking than this and Noble.

CF wheels are a BAD IDEA. Just look to the folks who've used them on high performance motorcycles.
Yes, they are strong and light and sexy, but when they fail they do things that I don't want my wheels to be doing. Especially not when driving.

Carbon fiber motorcycle wheels are carbon fiber everywhere. Carbon fibre car wheels still have a metallic hub and spokes.
