Forza Horizon 4: Happy New Mosler

Obtained from my inbox as a gift car for all of the Forza Horizon 4 players, the unsung supercar hero that was completely forgotten by the times, the 2010 Mosler MT900S, marks its return since its last appeared in the first Horizon game of 2012. Talk about returning to the game after so many years for a handful of players to drive it again.



The original Mosler MT900 was only a one-hit wonder because only the prototype was made while its track-only version has been very busy with track duty. The MT900S is the upgraded version of the original MT900 which uses the same LS6 V8 engine from the C5 Corvette Z06 but produces 435HP of power. Later upgrades pushed the engine's power to 600hp of power, making it capable of going from 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds according to Car & Driver magazine. There was a Photon version which features a 6-speed Hewland gearbox and other upgrades that dropped its weight of 898kg (1980lb), all for an additional $50,000 but at present, only two of these machines were fitted with that option.

Fun fact that Star Wars creator George Lucas was one of the owners of this Mosler supercar.



Although forgotten by time, there's still plenty of juice left to see how much of a supercar the Mosler is and with that, I took some time off to take it for a street race.



This unsung hero's still got it. Even though the Mosler MT900S is one of the supercars that were completely forgotten by the times, there is so much to tell about its performance when you get behind the wheel and although some call it mediocre compared to the establishment, its uniqueness as a boutique supercar is what makes it special.
