2006 Mosler MT900 GT3
The Mosler MT900 GT3 is build on the road going version of the MT 900. Compared to most cars engaged in the GT3 championships, the Mosler GT3 is probably the closest to its road going brother.
The road going version has received many accolades as a supercar capable to compete against some of the most expensive road going vehicles in the world at a fraction of cost. The same philosophy has been taken over for the GT3 car. The main changes are the safety cage, the fire extinguisher, as well as less weight and less power! Even in this form the car is often penalized with weight and restrictors – or how to build too good of race car on too good of a road car.
