if they didnt paint the wheels, and left the seats black leather, it would look like a cool exotic in an exotic color.

As is, this looks like ass... and cheap ass at that.]]>Nov 15th 2007 8:59AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/Nov 15th 2007 10:02AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/Nov 15th 2007 9:04AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/Nov 15th 2007 11:08AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/
The extremely simplistic front end is ok for a race car, but a street exotic is much nicer looking. The McLaren F1 pulled off a similar shape with much more style. This looks like a near-pure race car simplicity, with headlights added.

I like the swan wing doors, with inset windows, also in common with the F1. I also like the roof blackout effect.

The color is meant to be showy, and that it is. It is meant to grab you by the eyes and pound itself into your memory. That it does, for better or worse.

All in all, it basically looks like a mid-engine Corvette-derived race car, in a brash paint color. Ok. Slightly less awkward looking than the technically similar Ultima.

At least it is better than the new Vector, though. :D ]]>Nov 15th 2007 11:15AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/
I like this color, it just needs some wide black racing stripes down the middle, and a blacked-out rear wing and mirrors to make it look mean. And some black spiral designs painted on the wheels, to play tricks with your eyes when it's rolling.

I'll take mine with a 400 hp nitrous boost if you please, so I can make an attempt at shattering the sound barrier.]]>Nov 15th 2007 12:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/
Light weight, reliable high HP for a starting point, relatively cheap to upgrade and maintain.]]>Nov 15th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-mosler-mt900s-dipped-in-key-lime-pie/

The hood, with its forty some-odd slits and grills looks like the business-end of a dragon eyeing its next kill. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MESS WITH THIS FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON!

Honestly, I questioned the choice before we painted it, but the color really works - ridiculously awesomely radically well. I'm a black, silver, dark green-guy, but holy smokes this thing is bad.

This is a supercar, thanks to Mr. Mosler. This is an exotic supercar, thanks to the customer.

-PS: Yeah, those are 40k carbon-fiber rims.]]>Dec 4th 2007 10:17AM
