Mosler Automotive was an American supercar maker situated in Florida. It was established in 1985 by Warren Mosler as Consulier Industries, and produced the now-outdated Consulier GTP, which was later rebranded and upgraded as the Mosler Intruder/Raptor when the organization spun off its auto division as Mosler Automotive.The organization processed the Mt900r racer and the road-legitimate Mt900s, and also a few interesting undertaking vehicles, until its downfall in June 2013. Extra assembling offices are situated in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, England. Movie producer George Lucas was the first to take conveyance of the Mt900s.

In 1985, Warren Mosler, a security dealer who dealt with a fence investments with $5 billion under administration, began an organization called Consulier Industries and presented the Consulier GTP, a 2200 lb. mid-engined auto fueled by a mid-mounted turbocharged Chrysler 2.2 L motor processing 190 hp. The suspension was a fiberglass-and-froth monocoque.

Mosler was so certain about the execution of his creation that he offered a $25,000 abundance to any individual who could pilot a road-legitimate preparation auto around any US course speedier than a Consulier GTP. Auto and Driver magazine responded to the call, dashing a stock Chevrolet Corvette around the Chrysler Proving Grounds circuit in Chelsea, Michigan. Antoine and Csaba Csere took three laps each in the Corvette and a 1988 Consulier GTP Series I Sport. Both had comparable lap times in every auto, with the Corvette’s best lap at 1:21.01 and the Consulier’s best at 1:22.56. They expressed that the Consulier was “troublesome to handle,” with “pallid” brakes.

Stood up to with this test, Mosler expressed that the test auto was more seasoned and exhausted. Indeed, the Consulier acquired via Car and Driver was obtained from a Track Time Driver’s School: it had worn tires and brake cushions, no inner part trim, and three cigarette lighters which were uniquely introduced so Track Time could connect to their workstation gear. Mosler offered to send his organization test driver with new brake cushions for the auto and consented to pay the $25,000 if the Consulier didn’t lap quicker than the Corvette. Auto and Driver won’t, saying it may be speedier as a result of the driver. Mosler reacted that could utilize any driver they needed for their auto, however to have them drive the Consulier and get paid on the off chance that it lost was a clash of investment. Auto and Driver denied and hence distributed a negative article where they derided the inside, the three lighter plugs, and looked at the general fit and complete contrarily with another Datsun ZX. They additionally guaranteed that Mosler defaulted on his guarantee.

To go down his cases, Mosler raised the test to $100,000 which was later won by Chet Filip at the Sebring way course. The Consulier GTP happened to contend effectively in numerous races for the following six, prior years being banned by the IMSA in 1991. By and large, 100 Consulier Gtps were generated.
