GTP

Why it matters

The Consulier GTP was a lightweight mid-engined sports car built around a turbocharged Chrysler four-cylinder and a composite monocoque, and it was successful enough in IMSA Supercar racing to be penalised and then banned. Allpar describes it as the first production vehicle with a carbon-fibre and Kevlar body, a claim made by that site alone.

How rare is it?

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Warren Mosler, founder of Consulier, built the GTP in the late 1980s around Chrysler's 2.2-litre Turbo II four-cylinder, and offered a cash prize to anyone who could beat it round a track with a production car. Car and Driver recalls the 1985 build date and notes that its own editor later took up the challenge and beat the GTP's time with a Corvette, which conflicts with allpar's statement that nobody collected the money.

The car went on retail sale in about 1990 at roughly USD 62,000 and was raced in IMSA Supercar events. Four silver Series II cars debuted at Lime Rock in 1991 with pole position and a win, after which IMSA added a 300 lb weight penalty and then banned the GTP. Allpar says that between 60 and 100 were apparently sold, many to Mosler or his companies.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

A genuine GTP has a mid-engine layout with a long rear-mounted radiator, a composite monocoque of S-glass, Kevlar, carbon fibre and foam weighing 275 lb, a Chrysler 2.2-litre intercooled turbo engine with Getrag A-555 five-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, 225/50VR-16 tyres and four-wheel ventilated discs with ABS. The Sport was the base model and the LX added Recaro seats, VDO instruments, Fittipaldi wheels and a CD system.
