The Series 1 was designed, engineered and built from the ground up by Carroll Shelby. A luxury sports car roadster, this example is #123 of 249 manufactured at the Shelby factory in Nevada in 1999. The engine is derived from the aluminum Aurora Northstar V8 used by the Indy racing league in the early 2000s. It is a DOHC 4.0-liter, sequential fuel-injected, aluminum block and aluminum-headed V8 located in the aft of the front inboard suspension and is coupled to a ZF 6-speed manual transmission. The frame is high-strength extruded T6 aluminum with an all carbon-fiber body. This low weight mid-engine design produces a car weighing a just 2,650lbs with a 50/50 weight distribution.
