Mosler MT900S Photon limited to one car per year

Exclusive can be an overused word in the automotive industry, but if anyone can claim the description, it's Mosler. The Florida-based supercar manufacturer recently announced that it will be limiting production of its MT900S Photon supercar to a single unit for 2012. Having that sort of exclusivity comes at a cost, though, and the customer that decides to pick up Mosler's 2012 allocation will have to shell out upwards of $479,000.

So what's so special about the Mosler MT900S Photon? For starters, it's one of the lightest supercars on the market, weighing in at just under 2,500 pounds thanks to a composite chassis and carbon fiber body panels. Motivation comes from a 7.0-liter V8 borrowed from Chevrolet tuned to deliver 535 horsepower, allowing the Mosler to reach 60 mph in less than three seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph. Despite having a design that's more than a decade old, the Mosler still looks somewhat modern (if kit-car like), particularly with in Proton guise that adds additional aerodynamic modications.

Mosler Automotive, which has had tremendous success in the last few years of GT racing in Europe, has announced a new race series specifically for MT900 race car owners. The spec series will tag along with the Dutch Supercar Series and have 11 different events throughout Europe in 2008. In conjunction with the announcement of the new series, Mosler also launched a new model called the MT900 Challenge. Similar to Mosler's GT3 car, the Challenge features a race-spec LS7 V8 engine, carbon fiber monocoque chassis, AP Racing brakes and lightweight BBS wheels, but replaces or takes out some of the more expensive components for a base price of 150,000 Euros compared to the race car's 225,000 Euros. Follow the jump for more information on the series or visit Mosler's web site for detailed specs on the new Challenge car.
