This car may look incredibly weird, but it was an IMSA racing success. It had an excellent power-to-weight ratio, and it was effectively unbeatable. It was so good, in fact, that it was given a 300-pound weight penalty before being banned in 1991. And the odd shape isn't the result of a severely intoxicated designer, it's actually functional; in the absence of a traditional framework chassis, the body actually acts as a load-bearing surface, which means that the shape is actually necessary for its structural integrity. If you want more information on it and don't want to look it up on Wikipedia, I recommend watching Donut Media's video on it.
@@yungboicontigo9278 I think that you have successfully made one of the moist whiny posts I've ever seen. He made a joke, and you whined about it like a little tool.
Agreed. This vehicle was the most efficient mid engine v8 ever created (even more than a Koenigsegg) it goes 398kmh top speed and it was made in the US. I love this rare supercar dearly.
Fun fact: these cars were considered for the Fast Masters racing series but ultimately lost out to the Jaguar XJ220. My dad was a founder of the series. He got me out of school. We flew up to Chicago and drove a Consulier GTP to Indy. All black. It was a blast. I remember him dropping me off at school the next day in the car. All the kids asked me if it was the Batmobile.
My brother worked for Warren building these (and the Raptor and the MT900) in Florida. He would bring prototypes home and I got to ride in them a few times. It was always ugly but it was always amazing. They could beat almost any car on the track and they were very durable. Very cool story - glad you covered this - I sent the link to my Brother to check it out.
I was their IT guy for 8 years. They had every single model they ever made in their showroom. I actually drove one around their huge parking lot in Riviera Beach once. It was pretty cool but goddamn it was ugly. It was also a hodge podge of corvette lights, volvo steering all kinds of funky stuff. There was one in the showroom that looked like a M117 fighter jet with a split front windshield (Raptor). Fun fact he changed the parking lot into a go cart race track toward the end and had a go-cart that must have done 100mph.

I saw Shane Lewis win his class in one of these at Limerock Park in CT, probably was 1990. Dad and I went down to their paddock spot and met Shane after the race. We would visit him in the paddock every year for many years after, as he drove various Moslers and Corvettes. He called us his CT fans. All the Consulier race cars had valid FL license plates.
"Consulier" sounds like a brand of cigarettes. The door handles look like they've come from a safe. Two ash trays but one NACA duct! So the driver putting the seat belt on is literally strapping the gas tank to them.
That's one of the best instrument panels in history..... everything in a racecar should be dependable clearly readable gages and thanks for monitoring everything important That's smart way to go Mosler
Doug DeMuro ,this car lacks the "accordion" style 5 mph bumpers because it is a low production vehicle - not because it is so "stiff". Body stiffness is a reason *why* regulators instituted the change to 5 mph bumpers. People were getting unnecessary injuries in low speed impacts, body and frame stiffness was also leading to excess damage in those situations. And the regulated height of bumper requirement would have put it across above the headlight area on this car ( same regulation as today ). Maybe reading the first google result is not the best idea ( though it comprises the extent of most young peoples "research" these days ). Read the actual regulation, it is still available. As for the reason these cars were virtually unknown in the 1980's... it was not the "quirkiness" or Mosler being a tiny manufacturer alone. It was because the car did not get any major coverage in the automotive press. Without actual print articles about the Consulier, there was not many other ways to even know it existed. Fun to see a car nearly forgotten today, thanks Doug.
ALL injuries from being hit by a car are "unnecessary injuries." Where do you draw the line? Air bags in the bumpers? Pedestrians have to wear jet packs that shoot them up 10 feet if it detects a car is going to hit the person?
Doug’s vids are more of for entertainment imo, better to switch your brain off before watching his vids. His facts arnt always the best since he has a tight schedule to meet so I don’t really consider them to be well researched vids.
@@poxcr I can't remember what it was but I think he was raving about some option the new f350 had a few years ago in a video and how it was a first well sorry Doug my 2008 f350 had the option I can't remember what it was but vehicles long before my f350 had it aswell definitely not the best with research lol
That car, my wild friend was a kit car from back in the 90's. I used to read Kitcar magazine drooling over Cobra kits, fiero-Ferrai rebodies etc. This car was a monster back in the day.
Ffs Doug do some bloody research for once instead of just “oh look how odd this wheel nut colour is”… this is quite a big deal: “The GTP was successful in IMSA racing for six years, however its excellent power to weight ratio, responsible for its success, effectively made the car unbeatable: the car was eventually saddled by IMSA with a 300-pound weight penalty before being banned entirely in 1991.” This car was incredibly successful in what it was designed to do.
@@peppapigthekiller7539 The racing success is a very major point, not a small not important fact as you make out. He just simplified his content for the masses every time and does things his way and talking about weird quirks.
There used to be a dealership for these cars in Tequesta, Florida when I was about 14. I worked right across the way from the place and would look at them regularly. I thought they were so cool!
The shortened history of Consulier/Mosler: 1985: Launch of the Consulier GTP 1993: Consulier is renamed to Mosler 1993: The GTP became the Intruder 1997: The Intruder is now the Raptor 2001: End of the Raptor. Its successor is the MT900 2011: End of the MT900 2013: The end of Mosler
I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find a comment about this. I'm assuming they did it for space reasons. I wonder if it was utilized in any other cars
Doug mentioned where the engine for the moesler was sourced from, is there anyone out there who owns an original and unmolested Omni GLHS Turbo?. Would be great to see Doug review one!!
"The Mosler Consulier GTP Is a Weird Failed Supercar" Nope, it wasn't a supercar, and it didn't fail. It was designed to be a track monster like today's Ariel Atom. And it didn't fail - it did so well that it was banned from numerous racing series. It was, however, extremely weird. So yeah Doug, you were 1/3 right.
And then Warren Mosler designed the even odder looking Intruder to run in a higher IMSA class...which was then banned after it won over Porsche Turbo 911's and twin turbo Calloway Corvettes.
Donut did a video on this car last year ish. I saw this on Bring a Trailer a decade or so ago. The new owner has fixed a bunch of stuff from that original listing.
Gotta say I love the look of it, it's like a lemans car mixed with a saab 900 with semi truck wheels. I have a sneaking suspicion that those brake lines would get destroyed if you tried to take out the spare tire
Old turbo I4s sound so good. I remember being in 'awe' hearing a turbo-coupe thunderbird with headers and a downpipe. Not too much whistle, but really similar to how this sounds.
I saw this on my highway 2 months ago. It was the elderly man and to who I assume was his wife, driving in it. He was doing the speed limit of 70mph to a T. I pulled up next to it in a V10-R8, I slowed down to give him a thumbs up, to which he reciprocated, and then I continued on my way.
Doug needs to review the other cars from the K-Car ABC. The AZ-1 has a review. Now its time for the Honda Beat and the Suzuki Cappuccino to have a review as well!
I worked for a company of which Warren Mosler was a partner. If you Google his name, you will should quickly see what his background is and get an idea of his world outside of automobiles......All I have to say is that he was always approachable, never looked down his nose at you (lifestyle or status-wise) , liked to talk about cars, and was always a delight to be around.....Head and shoulders above many of his peers at the company in that regard.....
Thanks for the tour of the Consulier GTP. I owned a '85 GLH turbo and loved the car. I had heard that Mosler put the 2.2 Chrysler turbo in a sports car but never had seen one before.
Yea O don't think you know how proportions work mate. It looks like the bottom half of a car and a top half of a different car. The wheel offset is an issue as well but very minor compared to the shit that's going on with the back of the car
Finally! I've been waiting for a video on this for so long. I'm one of the few who recognized this car immediately. I saw it running at Indy Motor Speedway in 2013 and there's an owner of this in my hometown.
I appreciate how consistent Doug is with his scores. It seems highly likely that this car would fall ahead of a Late 80s Fiero, and below a mid 80s Countach.
Tachometers with two needles is something you'll see with aftermarket tach's so you can set your own redline and by the looks of it those are probably aftermarket gauges which might explain it.
I'm old enough to remember when these were new. I read all the car magazine articles written in Car and Driver, Road&Track, and Automobile. It may not be the best looking car, but it had lots of race success. If I could afford to buy one, I would. This is the type of weird and "quirky" car that we all love to see Doug review. The Mosler super cars are continuing the race pedigree that this started. Thanks.
I dunno about 4 cylinder turbos being considered "rare" at this time when Chrysler was putting them in virtually their entire lineup. Not many others were using them, but Chrysler was making a TON of them.
there are more home-built turbocharged fours on the road than ever before- those guys don't have to build them and warrant their operation for years- like the motor makers do. and their blowing them A LOT harder.
Some of the most desirable (and extraordinarily rare) Pontiacs of that day were also 4cyl turbos. The Grand Am GT and Sunbird GT both had a 2.0L 165hp turbo 4 under the hood. I think they even put it in the Buick Skylark T-Type around that time as well. It's the engine they should have dropped into the Fiero as far as I'm concerned.
It looks almost like a kit car you’d order and throw on a pre built/existing chassis,wonder if it had a different name or options if it would’ve sold better …or be remembered
you nailed it.....like something you'd bolt to a vw bug chassis. In fact, Mustie did some videos on one that very closely resembles this super car.....cough cough....
The reason why the pedals still have the VW logo on them is because they would had to pay thousands of dollars to the NHTSA and probably Volkswagen to change them.
I had the opportunity to see this car and talked to the owner at one of the meet. Pretty chill dude and willing to respond to all the questions we had about the car
I met MR Mosler in the early 90 he was judging an SAE student design compétition at The university of central florida. He had brought a car and showed it off to engineering students in the parking lot. Having done composite design in the 90, the mold making was very plywood driven so flat shapes was the norm…. Looking at the car today with the VDO gauges and the borrowed parts, it fits with low vollume production of the Time. The fact that the car worked well is something to be proud of. I guess that when they called Cragar wheels they answered we have these nice chrome jobs in stock we will cut you a super deal, the buyer got his cost saving objective in 1991.
I know about this car because back in the late 80's I was contacted by the publisher of Grassroots Motorsports magazine. At the time he was trying to get together a national auto-x racing series to compete against the SCCA Solo II program and the National Pro AutoX Tour that the SCCA was running. The sponsor he had for the series was none other than Mosler and his Consulier car! I got to drive the thing and it was brought to one of our local races. It was fun having such an "exotic" at one of our events. As you stated the car was nothing to speak of looks wise but because of the light weight and the 200hp turbo engine it moved pretty well and handled nicely compared to other vehicles at the time. Thanks for the review, brought back some good memories. :-)
This looks like such a fun car to drive. It’s weird in all sorts of ways, but it feels like each feature was pretty much driver focused and gave a driver what they wanted/needed if they wanted to go to the track with it.
That’s exactly what it is. Drive to the track, embarrass porsches and corvettes in 24 hour endurance races. Drive home, drive your kid to school in the morning. Maintain it cheaply as a privateer in your garage with cheap parts available everywhere. It’s very comfortable and far roomier, better ride, more fuel efficient than other sports cars of the era. It’s exactly the balance of attributes a true enthusiast wants in a sports car.
I rode in a Consulier. In 1991 I went to Florida with my parents and met one of their friends. He worked for the company and had one at home. He took me for a ride in it and I remember it being fast and handling great (keep in mind my idea of performance at that time was a Camaro Iroc-Z Lol). It kinda looks like a F40 and 959 had a baby.
Hi Doug, there is a version that followed this version referred to as the Series 2...there is a video of one in a dark slate color...I just recently posted this information which addresses many of the details you addressed.... This is the Series 2 version.... and if you look carefully it shares very little surfaces with the Series 1....This version has more crown in the roof when viewed from the front/rear and the side, there is a rounded top radius on the vent window, front hatch has curved cut lines, the front turn indicators are flush with the inside of the headlights, not centered under the headlights, the nose has curvature in plan view, the wheel arches are different, the fenders are crowned, the front and rear bumpers are different and relate to the body form, the slats on the rear window are gone and the rear roof has been sculpted, the rear end has crowned surfaces and the fan has been concealed, the name on the flanks has been made smaller and the type font is different, the side markers have been restyled, the nose has been totally reshaped with more taper on the corners as well as the inside form of the fender where it talks to the cut lines of the front hatch. the actual nose of the car also has slightly more crown. The interior is completely redesigned and has no resemblance to the slab sided Series 1 iteration. In the Series 2 version the gauge pod of most importance points toward the driver and the secondary controls are in a separate pod. all the surfaces are sculpted to reflect the design intent of the exterior and more care to ergonomics, the surfaces are a non reflective texture. The door panels as well are totally redesigned to be more aesthetically pleasing as well as be more comfortable to operate. also the color specifications of the Series 2 models were of a more sophisticated palette and the surface quality was improved to reflect the performance achievements this car has the ability to deliver. The chassis monocoque is quite remarkable and is a vacuum bagged composite of E and S glass over a BASF Aerospace Divinycell foam core. The chassis of course includes the complete front clip and rear fenders roof and floor and the engine bay. 2 normal sized fit people can easily lift and rotate the monocoque and put it on its roof. to that structure you have steel space frame structures supporting the front and rear suspensions and power unit. It is incredibly solid and torsional rigidity is that of a race car with a full cage. The car is based on the logic of Lotus cars, that is "to improve performance, add lightness" The true place to appreciate this car is on a road course, plain and simple. It cannot be appreciated in any other context.
Disappointed you never mentioned why it failed Car and driver and consulier/mosler had a very toxic relationship, after car and driver cheated the "25,000$" challenge and consulier called them out on it, car and driver refused to address the fact the car they tested was using old tires and brakes, severely handicapping it Instead they proceeded to insult the car because of that
Remember literally EVERY car magazine had an ad for these back in the day. They must have spent a fortune on advertising. Personally I love it and would buy one in an instant if I saw it for sale.
Everyone is trashing this but I kind of really like its styling. It's got some really cool styling features and I think they come together a lot nicer than people are admitting. 4 out of 10 is BS. Most people would think it looks cool, I think Doug is being car hipster on this one. Usually he's fair but this thing is not "ugly." A little more awkward than cars in its class. Still cool looking.
Interesting that you find the brakes slow to act initially. In the Front Compartment, at 18:00, the "other stuff" is the power brake booster and master cylinder. In pretty much all other cars, this assembly is directly ahead of the driver, and the brake pedal pushes a rod straight into the booster. THIS car turned it 90 degrees and has a lever setup to reorient the push to the booster, which is mounted on a plate that was clearly hand-welded. There is a LOT of potential to pick up a little bit of slop from each connection in that system. Given the care given to details in the build, like the interior borrowed door controls that don't fit the borrow door card panels, I am not surprised there's little accuracy in some systems.

We would visit him in the paddock every year for many years after, as he drove various Moslers and Corvettes. He called us his CT fans. All the Consulier race cars had valid FL license plates.
The exhaust looks like part of a pipe flange that was laying around in the workshop. The F40 had a much cooler centre exit exhaust.
It actually looks like bare header...and sounds like an beefed up turbodiesel :)
That’s because the outer f40s exhaust pipe wasn’t your “typical” exhaust pipe
@@uscars9207 header flanges are usually a bit more beefy, that exhaust just looks cheap and flimsy.
@@Bull3tBikes I'm not sure a piece of 1950's plumbing is a typical exhaust pipe either.
@@Rover200Power why focus on just the exhaust pipe? The entire car is a mess
"Consulier" sounds like a brand of cigarettes. The door handles look like they've come from a safe. Two ash trays but one NACA duct! So the driver putting the seat belt on is literally strapping the gas tank to them.
Like the cheapest brand, too. at the off brand gas station thats 8¢ more expensive than everyone else
That’s crazy talk!… it’s the passenger that straps on the gas tank.

Yep.
I love to watch the reviews of these weird cars.
It's these quirky kind of cars that Doug reviews which keep my subscribed to this channel.

"There are several reasons someone wouldn't buy this..." "It's ugly?" "One, it's ugly." "Nailed it!"
id buy it, i think its cool
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I love the styling of it
Everything was ugly in the 80's, so that doesn't really fly...
@@jlr194 In that case the lema is canceled by reality.
Doug DeMuro ,this car lacks the "accordion" style 5 mph bumpers because it is a low production vehicle - not because it is so "stiff". Body stiffness is a reason *why* regulators instituted the change to 5 mph bumpers. People were getting unnecessary injuries in low speed impacts, body and frame stiffness was also leading to excess damage in those situations. And the regulated height of bumper requirement would have put it across above the headlight area on this car ( same regulation as today ). Maybe reading the first google result is not the best idea ( though it comprises the extent of most young peoples "research" these days ). Read the actual regulation, it is still available.
As for the reason these cars were virtually unknown in the 1980's... it was not the "quirkiness" or Mosler being a tiny manufacturer alone. It was because the car did not get any major coverage in the automotive press. Without actual print articles about the Consulier, there was not many other ways to even know it existed.
Fun to see a car nearly forgotten today, thanks Doug.

ALL injuries from being hit by a car are "unnecessary injuries." Where do you draw the line? Air bags in the bumpers? Pedestrians have to wear jet packs that shoot them up 10 feet if it detects a car is going to hit the person?
He won't read anything. This guy spews lot of ignorant remarks throughout most of his videos.
Doug’s vids are more of for entertainment imo, better to switch your brain off before watching his vids. His facts arnt always the best since he has a tight schedule to meet so I don’t really consider them to be well researched vids.

That car, my wild friend was a kit car from back in the 90's. I used to read Kitcar magazine drooling over Cobra kits, fiero-Ferrai rebodies etc. This car was a monster back in the day.
Ffs Doug do some bloody research for once instead of just “oh look how odd this wheel nut colour is”… this is quite a big deal: “The GTP was successful in IMSA racing for six years, however its excellent power to weight ratio, responsible for its success, effectively made the car unbeatable: the car was eventually saddled by IMSA with a 300-pound weight penalty before being banned entirely in 1991.” This car was incredibly successful in what it was designed to do.
Good points!

There used to be a dealership for these cars in Tequesta, Florida when I was about 14. I worked right across the way from the place and would look at them regularly. I thought they were so cool!
Still waiting for you to come "home" and you can drive my Consulier anytime
Looks exactly like a 70's kit car. I remember these being reviewed in Road & Track and Car and Driver.
The shortened history of Consulier/Mosler:
1985: Launch of the Consulier GTP
1993: Consulier is renamed to Mosler
1993: The GTP became the Intruder
1997: The Intruder is now the Raptor
2001: End of the Raptor. Its successor is the MT900
2011: End of the MT900
2013: The end of Mosler
Man I love the Raptor's front end look. You'll know exactly why....
In reality it began and ended in 1985.

He always seems to miss some of the most interesting things. For instance this is the only car I've ever seen that has a sideways master cylinder.
I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find a comment about this. I'm assuming they did it for space reasons. I wonder if it was utilized in any other cars
I saw that too. Also….is it just illusion or does that spare tire seem hard to get access to??
I can't think how it failed. I would have thought the Scrapheap Challenge styling would have been a winner for sure.
Doug mentioned where the engine for the moesler was sourced from, is there anyone out there who owns an original and unmolested Omni GLHS Turbo?. Would be great to see Doug review one!!

"The Mosler Consulier GTP Is a Weird Failed Supercar"
Nope, it wasn't a supercar, and it didn't fail. It was designed to be a track monster like today's Ariel Atom. And it didn't fail - it did so well that it was banned from numerous racing series.
It was, however, extremely weird. So yeah Doug, you were 1/3 right.
And then Warren Mosler designed the even odder looking Intruder to run in a higher IMSA class...which was then banned after it won over Porsche Turbo 911's and twin turbo Calloway Corvettes.
You know the owners taste in cars when you see a DONUT media sticker.
Saw it too lol
Donut did a video on this car last year ish. I saw this on Bring a Trailer a decade or so ago. The new owner has fixed a bunch of stuff from that original listing.

I was a supplier for Mosler in Riviera Beach. His cars and later his engines were WAY ahead of their time.
This looks like Homer Simpson’s attempt at drawing an F40
Wow, a car I actually never heard of. ThiSSSSS is interesting. 🧐
Yep. There are a lot of claims on this channel about cars noone ever heard of but this one is legit.
Gotta say I love the look of it, it's like a lemans car mixed with a saab 900 with semi truck wheels. I have a sneaking suspicion that those brake lines would get destroyed if you tried to take out the spare tire
Old turbo I4s sound so good. I remember being in 'awe' hearing a turbo-coupe thunderbird with headers and a downpipe. Not too much whistle, but really similar to how this sounds.
Unlabeled door locks, window switches and mirror controls, yet they felt a need to label the CLOCK.

I worked for a company of which Warren Mosler was a partner. If you Google his name, you will should quickly see what his background is and get an idea of his world outside of automobiles......All I have to say is that he was always approachable, never looked down his nose at you (lifestyle or status-wise) , liked to talk about cars, and was always a delight to be around.....Head and shoulders above many of his peers at the company in that regard.....
I worked for Warren as well. Agree with all you’ve said. Really interesting guy. You’ll never meet another person like him. He’s one of a kind.
Looks like someone built it in his shed, with parts found in a junkyard.

Thanks for the tour of the Consulier GTP. I owned a '85 GLH turbo and loved the car. I had heard that Mosler put the 2.2 Chrysler turbo in a sports car but never had seen one before.
Pretty much all aftermarket tachs until the 90s used to have a second, adjustable needle to mark the rev limit.
It literally just needs properly offset wheels and it’ll look great
Yea O don't think you know how proportions work mate. It looks like the bottom half of a car and a top half of a different car. The wheel offset is an issue as well but very minor compared to the shit that's going on with the back of the car

I dunno about 4 cylinder turbos being considered "rare" at this time when Chrysler was putting them in virtually their entire lineup. Not many others were using them, but Chrysler was making a TON of them.
there are more home-built turbocharged fours on the road than ever before- those guys don't have to build them and warrant their operation for years- like the motor makers do. and their blowing them A LOT harder.
Some of the most desirable (and extraordinarily rare) Pontiacs of that day were also 4cyl turbos. The Grand Am GT and Sunbird GT both had a 2.0L 165hp turbo 4 under the hood. I think they even put it in the Buick Skylark T-Type around that time as well. It's the engine they should have dropped into the Fiero as far as I'm concerned.

I had the opportunity to see this car and talked to the owner at one of the meet. Pretty chill dude and willing to respond to all the questions we had about the car
You're the reason he sent it to Doug. Thanks 😊
The wheel design & their track/offset alone could have killed it
I don't see anything wrong with the wheels at all, aside from the faked multi-piece look, which is B.S. I don't like "faux" in general.
I actually had heard of it before. Always thought it was super ugly, but that doesn´t make it any less interesting. Thanks for reviewing this oddball!
I met MR Mosler in the early 90 he was judging an SAE student design compétition at The university of central florida. He had brought a car and showed it off to engineering students in the parking lot. Having done composite design in the 90, the mold making was very plywood driven so flat shapes was the norm…. Looking at the car today with the VDO gauges and the borrowed parts, it fits with low vollume production of the Time. The fact that the car worked well is something to be proud of. I guess that when they called Cragar wheels they answered we have these nice chrome jobs in stock we will cut you a super deal, the buyer got his cost saving objective in 1991.
It's not good looking but it sure does stands out.

Nice catch. Love to see Doug get his hands on a MT900S Photon as well.
I love videos like these, when I actually get educated about something I didn't even know about.
I know about this car because back in the late 80's I was contacted by the publisher of Grassroots Motorsports magazine. At the time he was trying to get together a national auto-x racing series to compete against the SCCA Solo II program and the National Pro AutoX Tour that the SCCA was running. The sponsor he had for the series was none other than Mosler and his Consulier car! I got to drive the thing and it was brought to one of our local races. It was fun having such an "exotic" at one of our events. As you stated the car was nothing to speak of looks wise but because of the light weight and the 200hp turbo engine it moved pretty well and handled nicely compared to other vehicles at the time. Thanks for the review, brought back some good memories. :-)
This looks like such a fun car to drive. It’s weird in all sorts of ways, but it feels like each feature was pretty much driver focused and gave a driver what they wanted/needed if they wanted to go to the track with it.
That’s exactly what it is. Drive to the track, embarrass porsches and corvettes in 24 hour endurance races. Drive home, drive your kid to school in the morning. Maintain it cheaply as a privateer in your garage with cheap parts available everywhere. It’s very comfortable and far roomier, better ride, more fuel efficient than other sports cars of the era. It’s exactly the balance of attributes a true enthusiast wants in a sports car.
not even a word about it's racing success and a Mosler's contest of "no one can beat it on track"
I rode in a Consulier. In 1991 I went to Florida with my parents and met one of their friends. He worked for the company and had one at home. He took me for a ride in it and I remember it being fast and handling great (keep in mind my idea of performance at that time was a Camaro Iroc-Z Lol). It kinda looks like a F40 and 959 had a baby.
That's not what the 2nd needle is for on the tach.... The 2nd needle shows the highest RPM reached. That's why the center of the tach is a knob....

Doug takes “Talking with your Hands” to an extreme.
Hi Doug, there is a version that followed this version referred to as the Series 2...there is a video of one in a dark slate color...I just recently posted this information which addresses many of the details you addressed....
This is the Series 2 version.... and if you look carefully it shares very little surfaces with the Series 1....This version has more crown in the roof when viewed from the front/rear and the side, there is a rounded top radius on the vent window, front hatch has curved cut lines, the front turn indicators are flush with the inside of the headlights, not centered under the headlights, the nose has curvature in plan view, the wheel arches are different, the fenders are crowned, the front and rear bumpers are different and relate to the body form, the slats on the rear window are gone and the rear roof has been sculpted, the rear end has crowned surfaces and the fan has been concealed, the name on the flanks has been made smaller and the type font is different, the side markers have been restyled, the nose has been totally reshaped with more taper on the corners as well as the inside form of the fender where it talks to the cut lines of the front hatch. the actual nose of the car also has slightly more crown. The interior is completely redesigned and has no resemblance to the slab sided Series 1 iteration. In the Series 2 version the gauge pod of most importance points toward the driver and the secondary controls are in a separate pod. all the surfaces are sculpted to reflect the design intent of the exterior and more care to ergonomics, the surfaces are a non reflective texture. The door panels as well are totally redesigned to be more aesthetically pleasing as well as be more comfortable to operate. also the color specifications of the Series 2 models were of a more sophisticated palette and the surface quality was improved to reflect the performance achievements this car has the ability to deliver. The chassis monocoque is quite remarkable and is a vacuum bagged composite of E and S glass over a BASF Aerospace Divinycell foam core. The chassis of course includes the complete front clip and rear fenders roof and floor and the engine bay. 2 normal sized fit people can easily lift and rotate the monocoque and put it on its roof. to that structure you have steel space frame structures supporting the front and rear suspensions and power unit. It is incredibly solid and torsional rigidity is that of a race car with a full cage. The car is based on the logic of Lotus cars, that is "to improve performance, add lightness" The true place to appreciate this car is on a road course, plain and simple. It cannot be appreciated in any other context.
This looks like a childs drawing of a sports car.
Substandard Supercar GTA Online style.
It looks like an untalented child's drawing of a sports car. The top part looks like it's cut from a tiny hatchback and slapped on the rest of it
Disappointed you never mentioned why it failed
Car and driver and consulier/mosler had a very toxic relationship, after car and driver cheated the "25,000$" challenge and consulier called them out on it, car and driver refused to address the fact the car they tested was using old tires and brakes, severely handicapping it
Instead they proceeded to insult the car because of that
yeah, I wanted him to tell about this challenge
i remember this
Remember literally EVERY car magazine had an ad for these back in the day. They must have spent a fortune on advertising. Personally I love it and would buy one in an instant if I saw it for sale.
Doug is the type of guy who buys a lawnmower when he has AstroTurf.
Hey Tone, did ya hear me? I said Doug is the type of guy who buys a lawnmower when he has AstroTurf! Heh heh
He will also give you the quirks and features of said mower.

He also buys a plug spanner when his lawn mower is electric
Everyone is trashing this but I kind of really like its styling. It's got some really cool styling features and I think they come together a lot nicer than people are admitting. 4 out of 10 is BS. Most people would think it looks cool, I think Doug is being car hipster on this one. Usually he's fair but this thing is not "ugly." A little more awkward than cars in its class. Still cool looking.
Totally agree with you. This car is way cool in my book.

Interesting that you find the brakes slow to act initially. In the Front Compartment, at 18:00, the "other stuff" is the power brake booster and master cylinder. In pretty much all other cars, this assembly is directly ahead of the driver, and the brake pedal pushes a rod straight into the booster. THIS car turned it 90 degrees and has a lever setup to reorient the push to the booster, which is mounted on a plate that was clearly hand-welded. There is a LOT of potential to pick up a little bit of slop from each connection in that system. Given the care given to details in the build, like the interior borrowed door controls that don't fit the borrow door card panels, I am not surprised there's little accuracy in some systems.
Putting the fuel tank directly behind the passenger seat
Ahh, the 1980s. Never change.
