When you think of cars with enough power to push themselves through the air at 250+ MPH machines like the Bugatti Veyron(253.4 MPH) and the SSC Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo(255.83 MPH). But honestly the performance of these Ultra exotic super cars is laughable when seen next to the new Mosler MT900 GTR XX Twin Turbo Land Shark by Intense Automotive Design. Why you ask? Because the latest iteration of Johnny Mosler’s mid-engine super car is limited to 305 MPH, a number more commonly associated with kilometers.
The "Land Shark" weighs in at only 1898 lbs (551 lbs less than the GTR XX) and is powered by a 381 cubic inch engine V8 that delivers no less than 2500 HP! The Land Shark can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 2.5 seconds and hits the 150 MPH mark just 4.2 seconds later, but the ridiculous starts to happen 17.5 seconds after takeoff when the speedometer in this MT900 crosses 250 MPH, and keeps on going.
The Mosler MT900 GTR XX Twin Turbo Land Shark will make its official debut at the 2009 Bonneville Speed Week. I couldn’t think of a more appropriate location on Earth.

In order to celebrate their 20th Anniversary, Mosler revealed a new limited edition, based on the MT900 GTR. The 20th anniversary edition, called MT900 GTR XX is ready to race and performs final testing in Florida!
The "XX" in the modell name is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Mosler Automotive and is standing for "eXXtreme" performance. The car is made of advanced composite carbon fiber and Kevlar. On the interior it features air condition, electric windows and audio system. Based on the MT900 GTR the "XX" spec packs up to 620 hp.
The weight loss program further unburdens the 620-hp 7.0L Corvette LS7 V8 to bring the sprint to 100km/h (62mph) down to three seconds flat, and 200km/h (124mph) down to 8.7 seconds. MT900 GTR XX can hit a top speed of 211 mph.
With the use of a MOVIT Ceramic brake, KW suspension, Carbon seats from Recaro and a Carbon clutch, Mosler Deutschland is heading for another weight reduction of 110-130lbs resulting in a total weight of 2300lbs!
The supercar is only available in Europe.
