Working with Oldsmobile and a few select suppliers, the new sports car, called Shelby Series 1, used a modified version of the 4.0L DOHC 32-valve V-8 engine sourced from the Aurora sedan. While the engine was mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, the body and chassis were a symphony of carbon fiber and aluminum, ensuring a lightweight overall performance. In fact, it weighed in under 3,000 pounds. Ventilated disc brakes and a double-wishbone suspension with coilovers was hung off the chassis, and, unique for a front-engine car, the Series 1 delivered a 51/49 front-to-rear weight distribution. The familiar interior was upholstered in leather and provided all the modern amenities one expected from a modern luxury sports car. The Series 1 was meant to be fast as well as comfortable, and it was, capable of 0-60 MPH in about 4 seconds, topping out around 170 MPH.
