Mosler MT900


The MT900 is a sports car built both in the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom by Mosler. This car was introduced in 2001. It was designed by Rod Trenne, who had previously done work on the Corvette C5. The car's name stood for Mosler, Trenne and the cars 900 kilogram target weight.

The car used a carbon fiber chassis and a V8 engine mounted amidships. The power output is 350 horsepower.

Though the target weight was 900 kilograms, the original version weighed in at 1175 kilograms. Though it was so much over the target weight, it could still accelerate from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 150 mph.

The cars rather plain looking exterior resulted in a very low coefficient of drag, just .25. only 14 of these cars were ever made for production.
