Mosler MT900

After two seasons of racing and development the MT900S has emerged for road use. Weighing in as low as 1,980 lbs. (plus 21 gallons of fuel), and powered by a mid mounted 435 hp Corvette Z06 V8, this ultra light weight high performance vehicle sets new performance standards as it delivers a uniquely exhilarating driving experience.

Primary structure is provided by a carbon fiber monocoque integrated into the striking exterior crafted in cyberspace by Unigraphics design. On a typical 2 mile road course, the MT900S is capable of laps many seconds per lap quicker than any other US legal sports car. The original MT900 weighed 1175 kg (2590 lb), much more than the target weight, but could still accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.5 seconds according to Car and Driver . The MT900 they tested could also do a 12.0 second quarter mile at 118 mph (190 km/h), and they recorded a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h), limited by the redline. More impressive, the MT900 pulled 1.02 g on the skidpad. The EPA estimated 19 and 28 mpg (12.4 and 8.4 L/100 km) in city and highway driving, respectively.

Three submodels have also been produced. The MT900R was a racing version of the MT900. The basic car was updated as the MT900S for 2005. The original MT900 was introduced in 2001 and the MT900S continues in production. Components for 25 MTs were produced as of January, 2005, though only three road cars and eleven racing versions have officially been completed. The MT900 was the replacement for the Mosler Raptor . Introduced at the same time as the basic MT900 was the race-ready version. It was designed for use in the 24 Hours of Daytona , where it won the GTS class, and sold for $119,000. Mosler planned to build 10 for the 2001 season, and reports indicate that eleven were produced by October 2003.

The MT900R won the British and Spanish GT championships in 2003 and 2004, respectively, and the car was competitive in the FIA GT championship as well, where the car is not allowed to score points, but has proven to be able to post lap times close to the two leading Porsche 996 GT3-RSR in the GT2 class.

A MT900S Photon variant is available which adds a Hewland transmission , thinwall subframes, BBS magnesium wheels, titanium springs, and carbon fiber seats and bodywork, reducing the car's weight to just under its initial target at 898 kg (1980 lb). This is technically a $50,000 option package for the MT900S. As of January, 2005, a single Photon had been built and was sold for use in the United Kingdom. Extreme speed, excellent handling, and proven performance on the track make the MT900R the car to beat in Grand Am GT class racing.
