Revell 67039 Shelby Series I Model Set

The Shelby Series 1 is an American roadster sports car that was first presented to the public in 1998. Its serial production was carried out in the years 1998-2005 and was carried out in the Las Vegas Alley district in the United States. In total, only 249 cars of this model were built.

The Shelby Series 1 was the first sports car designed from the outset by Carroll Shelby. At the same time, the constructor used many ready-made components available on the market. For example, the heart of the car is the 8-cylinder Oldsmobile L47 Aurora engine with 320 HP, while many elements of the passenger compartment equipment come from the General Motors concern. Undoubtedly, however, Shelby Series 1 is a successful combination of all these elements - it is relatively light (weight approx. 1200 kilograms), has good traction properties and is characterized by good performance. The car is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.4 seconds, and its maximum speed is 274 km / h.
