Inboard Cantilevered Suspension??? - What Kind of Madness Is This?

New Inventory - 1999 Shelby Series 1

This unique one owner car comes out of a Porsche enthusiast's garage - the design and Shelby heritage intrigued him enough to place an order early in the process. If you read the period Motor Trend article in 1998, you would have wanted one for yourself. You truly have to see, hear, and drive this one in person to fully appreciate it.

As noted in all the published history, the Series 1 was the only “clean sheet” design by Carrol Shelby. With this design, the team utilized exotic materials and an uncompromising layout to create Shelby’s take on the quintessential sports car.

Weighing in at only 2,650 pounds, the Shelby accelerates from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, and the hustles through the quarter mile in 12.8 seconds at 112mph. Unrestricted, the car will go on to a 170mph top speed.

The engine was pushed well behind the front axle line (to help achieve the 50/50 weight distribution), and suspension features double wishbone with inboard cantilevered coilovers at all four corners with remote reservoirs. The chassis was a combination of aluminum honeycomb for the tub, and aluminum front and rear subframes attached within. The overall body is made of composite carbon fiber.
