"The MT 900 (along with the 100 Consuliers that preceded it
from 1988-1992) was conceived to be the top performance
sportscar manufactured to be US road-legal. The use of
advanced composite construction for primary structure rather
than steel or aluminium creates a road car both lighter in
weight and higher in strength. The mid engine configuration
optimizes weight distribution and the wide track/narrow
cockpit design minimizes aerodynamic drag. The result is a
superior, extreme performance vehicle that also delivers
exceptional fuel efficiency and safety. Like the Consulier
before it, the MT900 has succeeded in setting new
performance standards of acceleration, braking, cornering,
fuel efficiency, and safety by substantial margins.
The new Corvette engine is a critical component for this
mission. Due to continuing, intensive development by General
Motors of it's flagship line, this ultra high performance,
fuel efficient aluminium power plant has the highest power
to weight ratio available that is fully compliant with US
EPA regulations.
The cockpit was designed to provide more than sufficient
space for the occupants to be comfortable, secure, and not
crowded. The front and rear overhangs were designed to
optimize aerodynamic performance within the practical
requirements of car park and garage ramp angles.
Side impact and rollover US DOT testing results revealed the
MT900 to be safer than any vehicle yet tested by the
Federal-approved laboratory concerned.
The first 100 years of the automobile were about steel
vehicles. The Consulier and now the MT900 are the first US
road legal vehicles that use advanced composites for the
primary structure, and they set the example for other
manufacturers of the gains in performance, safety, and fuel
economy made available by the intelligent application of
today's technology.
Since 1985 Mosler Automotive has been utilizing advanced
composite primary structure to deliver the highest
performance US legal road cars. And from the beginning,
these vehicles have also been successfully raced against
other sports cars, including numerous pole positions and
victories in both the shorter ‘sprint’ races and 24 hour
races. In fact, the performance difference has most often
been so great that the Mosler sports cars were banned from
competition. This list includes the IMSA Supercar series,
the Grand Am series, the 24 hours of Nelson Ledges, the 'One
Lap of America,' and most recently FIA GT3, where
homologation in their European Series has so far been
denied.
I invite you to become the owner of an MT900 and experience
the unrivalled combination of extreme performance, fuel
efficiency, and safety that is the future of mainstream
automotive technology." |
