Supercar Engineering, Inc. (SEI), a Mosler distributor, run by ex-Mosler engineer, J. Todd Wagner, has released an aftermarket package for the MT900S, which it is calling the RaptorGTR, promising Veyron-competing specs and performance. J. Todd Wagner was married to Mosler Automotive’s General Manager and Vice President of Operations Jill Wagner. Mosler says the RaptorGTR is not one of its products and refused to comment further; Mr. Wagner tells us that he is suing Mosler for libel and will be filling us in on all the details as soon as he is legally able. Obviously, the two do not share a good relationship.

Released with a promotional music video for some unknown artist called Abby Cubey, the 2012 Mosler RaptorGTR features 838 hp from a twin-turbocharged 7.0-liter V-8 and a curb weight of just 2,580 pounds. SEI says the RaptorGTR, formed from a Mosler MT900 owned by Mr. Wagner, will blast from zero-to-60-mph in just 2.6 seconds and hit a top speed of 240 mph, nipping at the heels of the Veyron. The car’s low weight also helps it come to a halt from 60 mph in only 95 feet—on par with a ZR1—and achieve 1.4gs of steady grip.

An exclusive set of 12 RaptorGTR cars will be dressed in a package commemorating the talents of the artist featured in the music video. The CubeyGTR will make 1,212 hp and cost an additional $70,000 over the base car’s $700,000 asking price, but it should be good for runs up to 60 mph from a standstill in as little as 2.2 seconds.

We will let you know more about this train wreck in the happening as it unfolds. If you really must watch the video (it isn't great), it is included below.
