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.
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.
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.
@@skullnofunctionThe looks of this one, I don't think are that bad and could easily be saved with some body kit parts. Add some tinted headlight covers, a front & rear diffuser , carbon fiber wheels/ maybe wider cf wheels with fender flares. Get rid of the ugly side mirrors. Upgrade brakes, suspension & do a 375+hp turbo Honda K20 swap and it'd be awesome.
Eh sure it’s a cool one to have, but more important than a single car is this, they should be adding the option to race against your own garage cars, then you could pit the cars you wanted against each other, direct from your garage builds, and ai convoy with them FH3 style. So many brilliant racing liveries but no way to built fantasy grids with them. Various garages to show off 10 or so cars at once would be nice too, better homescreen than just your current car on its lonesome.

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?

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.
I don’t think a lack of “presence” was this cars problem Doug. That thing is ugly as hell, has square tubing in the engine bay and a scrotum for a glove box.
Yeah, no good glove box is ridiculous but the interior looks way better than I thought it would. I mean, look at the dash with all the gauges and controls. Awesome. The body styling more for wind cheating, like a real race car, and not meant to be beautiful. In that way, it is way cool. Look at Le Mans race cars. None built for beauty. I could dig owning a real racer designed car like this one.
"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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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 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.
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.
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 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!!
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.
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.
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 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. :-)
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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: "You've probably never hear of it..." Me: "Who do you think your audience is, Doug?" Also me: "What the hell is that thing? Never heard of it or seen it before..."
I love watching Doug do his reviews and I have been waiting for him to do this car. As little known as it may be, it was way ahead of it's time. It's beauty is conditional on what angle your viewing it from. This car is on my bucket list of cars to drive. I don't know that I would own one due to the scarcity of parts. The engine parts aren't too hard to fine but interior and body parts would be virtually impossible to find. Still an amazing car. It shares the same engine with my all time favorite 80s-90s car the Dodge Daytona.. yeah bring on the insults and trash talk about the Daytona you won't bother me. I've owned 7 of them and to me it was the most beautiful car of its type of that era. I would love it if Doug did a review of the Daytona perhaps the Iroc R/T... It would make a cool episode. Just my opinion.
Was a time I had 5 friends/family that owned Daytonas, all at the same time. I owned an IROC R/T some years later myself. Always wanted to drive a GTP, never even seen one IRL!
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....
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.
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.....
This car was a very dominating at racing just like MT900 to the point that the GTP was hated by media and banned for racing (media didn't hated MT900 though) personally, I find this car looks awesome it's probably my 4th favorite racecar ever, sadly only few of this car exists, would've love to owned one of this racer.
I love how Doug is wearing a cars and bids shirt the whole time, so he can promote his website all throughout the video, because doing it at the beginning isn’t enough

@@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
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.
We all live for these kinda cars to be reviewed by Doug.
be sure to check out cars and bids!
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.
@@yungboicontigo9278 You're on a -winning- losing steak. Another whiny post.
I don’t think a lack of “presence” was this cars problem Doug. That thing is ugly as hell, has square tubing in the engine bay and a scrotum for a glove box.
True . And those dollhouse doors
And thats what makes it so cool today
This car was built for THANOS! When he was not using his helicopter.
Once its gets over 40 years old it’ll have a glove box for a scrotum
Yeah, no good glove box is ridiculous but the interior looks way better than I thought it would. I mean, look at the dash with all the gauges and controls. Awesome. The body styling more for wind cheating, like a real race car, and not meant to be beautiful. In that way, it is way cool. Look at Le Mans race cars. None built for beauty. I could dig owning a real racer designed car like this one.
As far as the "success" of this model goes, it made sense when you opened the hood and revealed the Chrysler engine mounted backwards. Brilliant 👏
"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.
@@starlightwolves1525 quite right.
I wasn’t laughing at this car until your comment put everything into perspective 😂
I love how they labeled all the gauges even the clock but none of the switches
The roof line and the windscreen, basically the whole greenhouse looks like a modified Saab 99.
I’m wondering if it’s a Saab windscreen
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.
Donut did this video on it:

Italian exotics in general like DeTomaso and ItalDesign in example.
Or a cizeta!!

I was a supplier for Mosler in Riviera Beach. His cars and later his engines were WAY ahead of their time.
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
They made the car I drew in kindergarten into a real thing!

How much was the check for your design?
Woo 😑
The only issue I see is the font size of “consulier” decal being too small
Looks at it from the side: "That's a pretty sleek-looking car."
Looks at it from the front: "That's a pretty boxy-looking car."

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!

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.
@@TehMehKehIen why?
@@TehMehKehIen the windshieldS 😳
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
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??
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
"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.
"This car was a failure"

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.
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.
Doug: "it sounds pretty good"
Car: *angry lawnmower sounds*
Sounds like a wimpy semi truck
I think it sounds like a Ferrari 288 gto with emphysema
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 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!!

Sounded, and spat smoke, like a diesel.
I own an 86 Daytona, currently being "restored" though
Having test driven a couple GHLS Shelby Dodges, the boost is cool, but in a lighter chassis, wickedly Fun
@Martin Even worse! I have an black 87 in my back yard AND a red 86 stripped to the chassie with all its parts on shelves :').
Looks like someone built it in his shed, with parts found in a junkyard.
With Stevie wonder as head stylist and built by ex Yugo engineer's
Build in a cave!
With a box of scraps!
and from the DeLorean era (the early 80´s)
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.
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.
Nobody: I want to turn this street sweeper into a supercar.
Consulier: Say no more
Quirky car: **exists**

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.

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 car wasnt a failure based upon the merits of being bad. It was actually terrific, just hampered by external factors.
External factors like how it looked?
you mean like putting mega-power in a FWD car??
Not gonna lie Doug, I thought the title said "The Molester Connoisseur."
May as well be awful car
@@paulie-Gualtieri. Not at all.
Doug was SO generous with the words used to describe this car. Truly appalling to look at. Fun and rare though!
this thing WRECKED IMSA like the GTR did to australian supercars.
"It sounds pretty good."
[sounds of elderly schnauser growling at nothing]
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.
If he think's THIS is quirky... you probably remember the original Consulier with the split windshield!
@@mwendell This was later model called "Raptor".
I absolutely love Moslers.
@@jareknowak8712 damn... you're right, thanks! For some reason I assumed it was earlier.
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.
Nice catch. Love to see Doug get his hands on a MT900S Photon as well.
Pretty much all aftermarket tachs until the 90s used to have a second, adjustable needle to mark the rev limit.
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.
only a few had the turbo iii with the Lotus dohc
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!
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

"Great"... That's a stretch.
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.
The rad whip, also can I say that the Maserati biturbo convertible during the cars and bids ad was absolutely gorgeous
Agreed! Maserati seem to be quite under rated and made some of the most beautiful cars of the 80’s and 90’s, and are still quite beautiful.
@@Psykel fr! Tho I do personally feel the convertible looks better than the coupe. The lines are a little funky on the coupe imo but that’s jsut me

I'm probably the only one, but I'd be interested hearing from Doug how he arranges insurance coverage for his test drives.
I think he already touched this subject in a "More Doug" video...
@@PhiZelak yup he did
He's already explained about that.
He arranges insurance by contacting his insurance company.
I hope that helps.
A 4 for styling is a very generous score.
I would five it a bit fat 0.
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.
VDO: *gauges making sound*
Mosler: I want your gauges in my CONSULIER GTP
VDO: How many gauges do you want?
Mosler: *yes*
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.

Doug takes “Talking with your Hands” to an extreme.
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.
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.
It's not good looking but it sure does stands out.

I love watching Doug do his reviews and I have been waiting for him to do this car. As little known as it may be, it was way ahead of it's time. It's beauty is conditional on what angle your viewing it from. This car is on my bucket list of cars to drive. I don't know that I would own one due to the scarcity of parts. The engine parts aren't too hard to fine but interior and body parts would be virtually impossible to find. Still an amazing car. It shares the same engine with my all time favorite 80s-90s car the Dodge Daytona.. yeah bring on the insults and trash talk about the Daytona you won't bother me. I've owned 7 of them and to me it was the most beautiful car of its type of that era. I would love it if Doug did a review of the Daytona perhaps the Iroc R/T... It would make a cool episode. Just my opinion.
Was a time I had 5 friends/family that owned Daytonas, all at the same time. I owned an IROC R/T some years later myself. Always wanted to drive a GTP, never even seen one IRL!
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....
@@muskokamike127 the clutch and brake pedal are from a 1980s beetle
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.

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.
Putting the fuel tank directly behind the passenger seat
Ahh, the 1980s. Never change.
Doug is a super car reviewer and a supercar reviewer.
This car was a very dominating at racing just like MT900 to the point that the GTP was hated by media and banned for racing (media didn't hated MT900 though) personally, I find this car looks awesome it's probably my 4th favorite racecar ever, sadly only few of this car exists, would've love to owned one of this racer.
I love how Doug is wearing a cars and bids shirt the whole time, so he can promote his website all throughout the video, because doing it at the beginning isn’t enough
Its one of his many quirks and features
