Mosler / Consulier

Mosler Automotive was an American sports car manufacturer based in Riviera Beach, Florida. The company traced its origins to 1985, when Warren Mosler founded Consulier Industries and introduced the Consulier GTP, a lightweight, mid-engined car built around a fiberglass-and-foam monocoque chassis and powered by a turbocharged Chrysler 2.2-liter engine producing 190 horsepower.

In 1993, Consulier Industries spun off its automotive division to form Mosler Automotive. The new company introduced the Intruder, a rebodied version of the Consulier fitted with a 300-horsepower General Motors LT1 engine. The Intruder achieved notable success in endurance racing, winning at the 24 Hours of Nelson Ledges in consecutive years, though its dominant performances led to it being banned from competition. A version modified by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering later won Car and Driver's One Lap of America before also being banned after further victories.

In 1997, the Intruder was updated with a V-shaped windshield to reduce drag and renamed the Raptor. This model continued the company's racing success, winning the One Lap of America in both 1997 and 1999, with a Lingenfelter-modified 6.3-liter V8 producing over 440 horsepower.

In 2001, Mosler introduced an entirely new model, the MT900, featuring a carbon-fiber chassis and rear-wheel drive, powered by a mid-mounted General Motors LS1 engine producing 350 horsepower. The design was developed using Siemens engineering software. The MT900 line evolved through several versions, including the 2005 MT900S, which used a Corvette Z06-derived LS-6 V8 producing 435 horsepower, and the lighter Photon variant, which incorporated a Hewland transmission, magnesium wheels, and carbon-fiber body components. Testing by Motor Trend recorded exceptional acceleration and braking performance for the model.

A racing variant, the MT900R, was introduced alongside the road car and achieved success in international motorsport, including a class win at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona in 2003, as well as victories in British, Spanish, and other European GT racing series. In 2008, a one-make series known as the Mosler Dutch Supercar Challenge held its first event at the Nürburgring.

Beyond its sports cars, Mosler Automotive also built several unique project vehicles, including a six-wheeled Jeep-based vehicle known as the J-10 Sport and the TwinStar, a Cadillac Eldorado fitted with twin Northstar V8 engines.

The company maintained additional manufacturing facilities in Norwich, England, and its client list included filmmaker George Lucas, who was the first to take delivery of the MT900S. Mosler Automotive ceased operations in June 2013, when its assets were acquired by Rossion Automotive.
