First street-legal Mosler MT900S delivered to notable filmmaker
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...

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, thats why we have had the possibility to drive all these cars personally also, but even for us itll 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.
