Mosler MT900SP
The car you see in these photos is not a modified version of the iconic McLaren F1, but the Mosler MT900SP which is the lightweight version of the company’s MT900 model and seems to borrow a lot of design cues from the hypercar of the early 90s. This is a mid-engined, 2-seat, RWD sports car that will be manufactured at a rate of only one unit annually for the U.S.

It is powered by a massive 7.0-liter V8 engine that pumps out 535 hp (399 kW) and it is linked to a six-speed Getrag gearbox. According to Jacob Mosler, the car weighs less than 2,500 lbs (1134 kg) thanks to the fact that the company’s engineers have used carbon fiber body panels, a composite chassis, along with other weight-saving measures.

The Mosler MT900SP will need less than three seconds to reach 62 mph from start and will be able to do the quarter mile in less than 11 seconds. This lightweight hypercar is capable of reaching a maximum speed of more than 200 mph (322 km/h), while fuel consumption is rated at an unbelievable 30+ mpg at 55 mph.

Two of the biggest motor sport companies in America, Nelson Supercar and Mosler, have created a new POWER-UP Tuning package for Mosler MT900S. This way the 600 hp super car was turned into an 1800HP monster. This Supercar is made o carbon fiber, a 7.0-liter V8 with 550 horsepower. “The Mosler MT900S road car was designed to be the extreme performance vehicle. In third-party testing it officially set nine 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.”
As standard for the US market the car is fitted with Corvette brakes for ease of servicing, while for Europe, the brakes have been upgraded to 355mm diameter grooved and drilled ventilated floating disc brakes with 6 pistons Wilwood alloy calipers front and rear to provide massive stopping power. The owner helped Nelson Racing Enginesin Chatsworth, CA to build the ultimate motor: a twin-turbo 427 ci V8 producing up o 1800 horsepower on race fuel and around 1100 horsepower using 91 octanes.
To make the car more “streetable”, boost can be controlled every 100rpm in each gear. The first few gears are limited to around 6-8 psi. The dyno run was nearly 1600 horsepower before the intake collapsed from the pressure. The car should be completely finished in the next weeks.
Last year the Car and Driver Magazine took for a test-drive one version of Mosler’s 600HP that reached 100km/h in just 3.1 seconds. They described a car as a “speed violent” and “reflexes of rally car”. Can you imagine a ride with Mostler MT900S 1800HP?
