The teasing was long and arduous, and at some point, it might have been even a little too drawn out. But finally, the Mosler Raptor GTR is getting ready to draw its claws and show off its fangs. Once teased as the Mosler Raptor, this Florida-based supercar has officially taken the name ’Raptor GTR’ and true to all our expectations, it really does pack a wallop. The cheesy introductory video featuring model Abby Cubey didn’t do it any real favors as far as first impressions go. But once you get past that, the sheer performance numbers of the Raptor GTR will surely make you stand up and take serious notice. The American supercar will be carrying the long-rumored 7.0-liter twin-turbo V8 powertrain. But instead of carrying 650 horsepower, the Raptor GTR will be unleashing a chilling 838 horsepower from under its hood. Together, the supercar’s massive powertrain and its carbon fiber body and chassis weigh in at only 2,580 lbs, ensuring that the Raptor GTR will be able to deliver a power-to-weight ratio that’s 36 percent higher than the Bugatti Veyron. All that translates to a 0-60 mph time of just 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 240 mph. About the only downside to the Raptor GTR, at least as far as our bank accounts are concerned, is that it comes at a jaw-dropping price of $700,000. But if that’s within you price range - and you’re not cool with "just" 838 ponies - Mosler will be offering 12 buyers a $70,000 CubeyGTR upgrade package that brings the output to well over 1,200 horsepower, with a 0-60 mph time of just 2.2 seconds. You don’t need Abby Cubey to tell you how sick that is. Check out the video after the jump! 15 comments: Mosler Raptor GTR This Raptor car is very masculine, and the colors are really elegant. The powerful engine and a speed quality is perfect for this car. I will go for this car.
 This Raptor is really oozing with angst and aggressiveness! There is truly no doubt if it can captivate lots of attention on that! It’s a good thing as well that it has an awesome speed performance.
 I just don’t like the side rims of this Raptor. Maybe if they let it on a simple design. Anyway, it looks very glamorous on its sleek black body paint, and it’s really a good thing that it has a powerful engine.
 Well, I hope that they would update soon this article about this Raptor! I just can’t wait to determine the other special and great features of it aside from its looks and nice engine.
 Raptor GTR is one of the very satisfying coupe vehicles today, and I will surely be looking forward to determining the other impressive features that it can offer aside from its looks and great engine output.
 I wonder if what will be the other great and awesome features that it can offer most especially on its interior. Anyway, I also love the aggressive appearance of it even the powerful engine output of it.
 The side rim of this Raptor really looks so cool even the whole exterior appearance of it, but I hope that it would also be available in red body paint.  Anyway, I love its powerful engine output.
 I wonder if what are the other impressive and great features that this Raptor can offer aside from its fabulous exterior appearance and with its powerful engine output. Well, I will surely wait for an update on that.
 Yeah! I have to agree that it looks like Ferrari Aperta. However, it still had a feature that makes this GTR look unique. I just can’t figure out what is it. Anyway, I’m so impressed with its powerful engine.
