Mosler Intruder / Raptor History

When Consulier Industries reorganized as Mosler Automotive in 1993, the company introduced the Intruder — a rebodied evolution of the GTP fitted with a Lingenfelter-modified Corvette LT1 V8 producing 300 hp, later upgraded to 450 hp in the most powerful version. Only four Intruders were ever built, with just one sold to a customer; the others became racing or development cars.

The Intruder's racing record followed the Consulier GTP template: it won the 24 Hours of Nelson Ledges endurance race in 1993 and 1994, after which it was banned from that event. A 450-hp Lingenfelter-engined example won Car and Driver's One Lap of America in 1996. For 1997 the car received a distinctive V-shaped split windshield that reduced aerodynamic drag and was renamed the Raptor; a Raptor won One Lap of America in 1997 and again in 1999, whereupon it too was barred from further competition.

The Intruder/Raptor line bridged the gap between the Consulier era and the fully engineered MT900. Total combined production across both names was approximately four cars — making them among the rarest American automobiles of the 1990s.
