Company Name: Gisser Automotive Concepts Inc. / GAC
Place: White Lake, New York
Country: United States
Gisser Automotive Concepts, Inc. was a U.S. startup founded in May 1997 by Daryl K. Gisser in New York. The firm operated from White Lake and later Monsey, New York, and pursued a low-volume supercar program called MEC4. The MEC4 was presented as a mid-engined, fiberglass-bodied coupe on a spaceframe chassis using a supercharged Chevrolet LS-series V8 and GM running gear. Published figures in period sources credited the prototype with roughly 567 hp, rear-wheel drive and claimed performance around 0–100 km/h in 4 seconds and 300+ km/h top speed. The company positioned the car toward the U.S. luxury-exotic niche and sought financing for production in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Gisser remained a development-stage enterprise; no series production was documented. Corporate activity continued at least into 2013, but the marque’s public presence later faded and the MEC4 stayed a prototype/concept rather than an homologated production model.
