[REAL, 1993] The Mosler Raptor (upload.wikimedia.org)
submitted 5 months ago by Hubi@lemmy.world to c/weirdwheels@lemmy.world

In 1993, Consulier Industries spun off their automotive division into Mosler Automotive, which focused on high-performance cars. Mosler introduced the Intruder, an updated GTP with a new 300 hp (220 kW) Corvette LT1 V8 engine modified by Lingenfelter. This car raced at the Longest Day of Nelson 24-hour race in 1993 and 1994, winning both years; like the GTP before it the Intruder was also banned from Nelson Ledges after its dominating 1993–1994 performances. In 1996, a 450 hp (340 kW) Lingenfelter Intruder won Car and Driver magazine's One Lap of America.

Of the four Intruders built, just one was sold. Another was converted into a GT1 racing car, while the remaining pair were converted into Raptors.

In 1997, the Intruder was renamed Raptor after being updated with a V-shaped split windshield that reduced drag.

He hasn't talked about this one yet, the Consulier GTP seems to be the only Mosler car featured on his channel so far.
