MOSLER MT 900 SUPERCAR COMES TO AMERICA
RIVIERA BEACH, FL – Mosler Automotive announced that the Mosler MT 900S supercar has successfully completed U.S. emissions and crash testing, including California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification, and will be coming to an auto enthusiast near you.
Conceived and created by automotive entrepreneur and financier Warren Mosler, the Mosler MT 900S is a 435-hp, Corvette-powered, ultra-high performance two-seat, mid-engined road car, with aggressively styled bodywork and race car heritage.
 “The Mosler MT 900S road car was designed to be the extreme performance vehicle. In third-party testing it officially set 9 performance records, including 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds,” says creator Warren Mosler. “Now that it has passed its testing phase with flying colors, delivery can begin in very limited numbers to a discriminating coterie of racers, collectors and investors.”
The core of the ultra high strength, light weight Mosler MT 900S is its advanced composite monocoque. Assembled in Florida from carbon-aluminum honeycomb structural board produced in California by Teklam, this space age construction is also found in aircraft floors and bulkheads.
Power for the Mosler MT 900S comes in the form of America’s premier powerplant – the 5.7-liter Corvette LS6, coupled to a 6-speed manual transaxle. Double wishbone aluminum upper and chrome-moly lower control arms, three-way adjustable coil-over shocks and adjustable blade anti-roll bars translate power to the road with the aggressive, road-hugging handling and performance of a state of the art race car.
 Racing versions of the Mosler MT 900 have been making their mark for several years, winning both the British GT and Spanish GT championships, and competing successfully in FIA GT championship races. Currently several international teams from England and Spain are battling for championships with the leading Ferraris, Porsches and other leading makes.
At the mid-May RAC Tourist Trophy race at Silverstone, England, three separate Mosler entries shared the starting grid for the first time and finished second, fifth and twelfth respectively and followed that with another class win at the FIA GT race in Imola, Italy. When eligible to race in the U.S. Grand Am series, MT900s won numerous US races, including the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in the GTS class.
 By the end of 2005, the first 50-state legal road models will be available exclusively through one of North America’s premier Corvette specialist dealers, “Corvette Mike” Vietro, (www.corvettemike.com), whose facility in Anaheim, California heads the U.S. distribution and sales efforts for the $189,000 Mosler MT 900S.
