For the first time in the 100-year history of the automobile, a crushing new supercar is being launched via an extreme music video. This new 2012 Mosler RaptorGTR #001 features 838hp accelerating only 2580lbs. The ultralight street missile is built with carbon-fiber LeMans Prototype construction concepts to keep the weight radically lower than any car in the hyperexotic category, while remaining extremely safe. Like the Audi R18 that protected its driver through an intensive impact with a barrier during the 2011 LeMans race, the RaptorGTR features a central carbon-fiber safety cell surrounded by consumable elements to absorb impact energy.
The magic of the $700,000 RaptorGTR lies in the extensive use of carbon-fiber, which is pound-for-pound five times stronger than steel. The result of this construction concept combined with a fuel conscious twin-turbocharged 7.0L powerplant is a power-to-weight ratio that is 36% higher than the Bugatti Veyron. Power-to-weight is the primary variable to determine the "rush" of acceleration. Low weight also reduces braking distances because there is simply less kinetic energy to be converted into heat during deceleration. 60mph to 0 occurs in only 95 feet. Low weight and low center of gravity improves cornering grip because tire grip tapers off as weight is added. The RaptorGTR achieves 1.4g's on 275/40R18 front and 315/35R20 rear tires. The mid-engine missile features Nitto NT05R drag radials to maintain traction under this level of power. Low weight, high power, and strong traction yield a 2.6second run to blast 60mph.
The visible turbos concept was inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter, and by virtue of being directly exposed to the atmosphere generate a truly unique fighter jet soundtrack for the pilot. The sound of the Garrett GTX turbos has been captured as an instrument in Abby Cubey's Feel my Fire song and music video. Abby sings in seven languages. She is initially releasing the song in English, with a Chinese version being released December 1, 2011. China is predicted to be the largest market for the RaptorGTR.
After completing a performance driving school with the RaptorGTR, for an additional $70,000 the vehicle can be upgraded by SEI with a 1212hp CubeyGTR package. In addition to the immense power upgrade, this limited edition vehicle features a front facia designed after Abby's exotic eyes. Of course additional cooling is required to absorb the immense heat that 1212hp emits, thus there is and additional radiator installed in the driver's side pod and the intercooler receives additional air flow via ducts integrated into the rear hatch. This upgrade package will be limited to 12 cars.
