SHELBY AMERICAN
SERIES 1
THERE'S NO GLOVE BOX OR CUP HOLDERS, NO SPARE TIRE NOR ROOM FOR ONE. NO AIRBAGS, NO AUTOMATIC SEAT ADJUSTMENT.
THERE'S ONLY THREE CUBIC FEET OF CARGO SPACE. BUT THERE IS THE INTENSE MAGNETISM OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
CAR CARROLL SHELBY HAS EVER PRODUCED: THE SHELBY SERIES 1.
POWERED BY A SPECIALLY MODIFIED ALUMINUM OLDSMOBILE AURORA V8 WITH DOUBLE OVER HEAD CAMSHAFTS &
4 VALVES PER CYLINDER, THIS SERIES 1 WILL TAKE YOU FROM 0 TO 60 IN 4.4 SECONDS & IS CAPABLE OF GENERATING
A NECK-STRETCHING 1.05g OF LATERAL ACCELERATION.
DESCRIBED BY MANY AS "THE BEST HANDLING AMERICAN MUSCLE-CAR EVER" THIS SHELBY SERIES 1 ACHIEVES A PERFECT
50/50 FRONT TO REAR WEIGHT RATIO THROUGH THE USE OF CARBON-FIBER COMPOSITES & HEAT TREATED ALUMINUM.
SHELBY BROUGHT ALL OF HIS RACING EXPERIENCE TO BEAR ON THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE SERIES 1's SUSPENSION,
STEERING & BRAKES. MAIN FEATURES INCLUDE FORGED ALUMINUM UPPER & LOWER A-ARMS FOR THE INDEPENDENT REAR
SUSPENSION WITH COIL OVER SHOCKS & 12" DISCS.
IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION, ROCKER ARMS ACTIVATE INBOARD MOUNTED COIL OVER SPRING/DAMPER UNITS WITH
STOPPING POWER GENERATED BY MASSIVE 13" DIAMETER VENTILATED DISCS CLAMPED BY FOUR PISTON CALIPERS.
