Including both models in this post as their essentially the same car. The Mosler Consulier was a sports car built by Warren Mosler that was highly successful in racing in the early 90's, powered by a 2.2L Chrysler engine. As you can probably tell, it's engineering took preference over the styling. It's taillights come from the Ford truck parts bin, for example.
The Raptor was the final evolution of this body style, again evolving not for looks but for speed - adopting an extremely awkward V-shaped windshield to help cut the wind (but unfortunately did not aid in visibility).
As time went on Mosler decided they would have to make their cars more attractive in order to gain acceptance, and Warren Mosler hired a designer. The result is the MT900S/R, instantly turning the capable ugly duck into a swan.
