    Fun fact: these cars were considered for the Fast Masters racing series but ultimately lost out to the Jaguar XJ220.
    My dad was a founder of the series. He got me out of school. We flew up to Chicago and drove a Consulier GTP to Indy. All black. It was a blast.
    I remember him dropping me off at school the next day in the car. All the kids asked me if it was the Batmobile.

    This car may look incredibly weird, but it was an IMSA racing success. It had an excellent power-to-weight ratio, and it was effectively unbeatable. It was so good, in fact, that it was given a 300-pound weight penalty before being banned in 1991. And the odd shape isn't the result of a severely intoxicated designer, it's actually functional; in the absence of a traditional framework chassis, the body actually acts as a load-bearing surface, which means that the shape is actually necessary for its structural integrity. If you want more information on it and don't want to look it up on Wikipedia, I recommend watching Donut Media's video on it.

      I was their IT guy for 8 years. They had every single model they ever made in their showroom. I actually drove one around their huge parking lot in Riviera Beach once. It was pretty cool but goddamn it was ugly. It was also a hodge podge of corvette lights, volvo steering all kinds of funky stuff. There was one in the showroom that looked like a M117 fighter jet with a split front windshield (Raptor).
      Fun fact he changed the parking lot into a go cart race track toward the end and had a go-cart that must have done 100mph.

Add some tinted headlight covers, a front & rear diffuser , carbon fiber wheels/ maybe wider cf wheels with fender flares. Get rid of the ugly side mirrors. Upgrade brakes, suspension & do a 375+hp turbo Honda K20 swap and it'd be awesome.

    Doug should know about the second tach needle. It’s old school racecar tech. It marks the position of max revs on a run. It doesn’t show the engine’s mechanical rev limit. You can set its position manually. The rev needle will push this second needle around showing how far up you’ve had the revs.

    Doug DeMuro ,this car lacks the "accordion" style 5 mph bumpers because it is a low production vehicle - not because it is so "stiff". Body stiffness is a reason *why* regulators instituted the change to 5 mph bumpers. People were getting unnecessary injuries in low speed impacts, body and frame stiffness was also leading to excess damage in those situations. And the regulated height of bumper requirement would have put it across above the headlight area on this car ( same regulation as today ). Maybe reading the first google result is not the best idea ( though it comprises the extent of most young peoples "research" these days ). Read the actual regulation, it is still available.
    As for the reason these cars were virtually unknown in the 1980's... it was not the "quirkiness" or Mosler being a tiny manufacturer alone. It was because the car did not get any major coverage in the automotive press. Without actual print articles about the Consulier, there was not many other ways to even know it existed.
    Fun to see a car nearly forgotten today, thanks Doug.

He had brought a car and showed it off to engineering students in the parking lot. Having done composite design in the 90, the mold making was very plywood driven so flat shapes was the norm…. Looking at the car today with the VDO gauges and the borrowed parts, it fits with low vollume production of the Time. The fact that the car worked well is something to be proud of. I guess that when they called Cragar wheels they answered we have these nice chrome jobs in stock we will cut you a super deal, the buyer got his cost saving objective in 1991.

    I know about this car because back in the late 80's I was contacted by the publisher of Grassroots Motorsports magazine. At the time he was trying to get together a national auto-x racing series to compete against the SCCA Solo II program and the National Pro AutoX Tour that the SCCA was running. The sponsor he had for the series was none other than Mosler and his Consulier car! I got to drive the thing and it was brought to one of our local races. It was fun having such an "exotic" at one of our events. As you stated the car was nothing to speak of looks wise but because of the light weight and the 200hp turbo engine it moved pretty well and handled nicely compared to other vehicles at the time. Thanks for the review, brought back some good memories. :-)
