Mosler turns 20, celebrates with MT900 GTR XX for Europe
Click above for high-res gallery of the Mosler MT900 GTR XX
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.

In addition to binoculars, we'll also need a rocket or an array of mirrors to get around the curvature of the earth.

The car was introduced in 2001 and is older than the S7. It has been actively running races in Europe since 2001. It's supposed to be street legal in the US but I never heard of Corvette Mike selling one.
Mosler is not a very respected person or brand. It's a shame no one can get over the Raptor. It had lots of performace, just no sex appeal.

Mags like road and track have tested them and claim that they are street legal here in the US, and I'm pretty sure that George Lucas (among others) has one.

I think it looks more like the McLaren F1.

why not the LS2LS7? 1:20PM (6/12/2008)
I'd hit that. (As if my user name didn't make that obvious.)
There is a street version on their site that retains the Vette interior, for those who want a "soft" supercar.

What a forgettable "so-what" design.

I guess those of us in West Palm Beach are lucky enough to be able to drive on the same roads as MT900 GTRXX. That is clearly the Flagler Bridge from Palm Beach into West Palm.

I know I'm not the first to notice, but doesn't this look like a mid-engined Corvette? It is powered by an LS7, right?

It depends on the model, but you can think of it as starting from a Corvette and throwing out parts while making a new chassis. Depending on the model, they either throw out a lot or only a little.

Is it a yellow version of the transformers mystery machine from yesterday?

"starting with the unholy ugliness of the Consulier GTP" And yet it looks remarkably like a Daytona Prototype.

Looks remarkably like a McLaren F1, especially the cover pic

I should have been more clear, I meant that the Consulier, on the link, looks like a DP.
