Mosler George Lucas gets first Mosler MT900S

[Zonda]

Famous film director and "Star Wars" creator George Lucas has taken delivery of the first street-legal Mosler MT900S. The black-on-black coupe — worthy Darth Vader — weighs just 2400 lbs and is powered by a 435 hp all-aluminum V8. It can hit 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds.

Lucas’ car was delivered personally by Mike Vietro, owner of Mosler Mike Motorsports, the exclusive North American distributor for Mosler Automotive. (The first two MT900S production road cars remain in-house Mosler vehicles.)

"I was drawn to its looks, its power, its use of high-tech materials, and, of course, its speed," said Lucas, who also owns a Ferrari F360. The Mosler MT900S relies on lightweight carbon fiber composites in its tub and body panels. It also utilizes Kevlar, an ultra-strong, lightweight composite, in its floor, body and door structures.

I think I read somewhere that these Moslers are pretty affordable in relation to other supercars. I heard they retail for $180-190K, does anyone know if that's true?

I can't comment on American prices, but I know in Britian the MT900 (with 435PS) costs 130,000 GBP, for comparsion an F430 starts at 117,000 GBP.

Again, no American prices but the MT900 GTR (550PS) costs 223,300 Euro's:

Carrera GT: 452,690 Euro

meh...Pocket change

meh...Pocket change

For someone like Lucas who is worth 3.6 billion dollars, you could probably buy a Mosler with the loose change you find in his sofa.

Gunman, who I've told you about a few times has his signature on the car in that pic
Lower left corner of the picture, it's cut-off just a bit...there are 3 signatures right along the bottom of the image, his is in the middle.
