NAME: 1970 AVS Shadow MK1
PICTURES:
please do note that there are two other variations of this, being the 1969 Shadow MK1 Lowline and a different bodystyle variant for the 1970 Shadow MK1 in black and a different rear end design
the Shadow MK1 originally started out as a concept that was significantly flatter, which would be the Shadow MK1 Lowline
there was originally active aero flaps that would deploy during braking, but these would be scrapped as regulations in Can-Am would outlaw this
issues would come up with cooling, so cooling fans from the Chevrolet Corvair were shoved onto the front wheels (which would be one of the first cars to sport a “superfan” rim), and radiators would be shoved on the spoiler, giving the car a very odd look
when the spoiler was added, the longtail bodywork was ditched, leaving a radically different car to the original design
the spoiler would quickly get redesigned, along with the bodywork at the rear to account for cooling
the Shadow MK1 would get plagued with lots of issues, which sadly meant it would not see very much success, but it would become a popular car from the radical design it had
now for some specs (0-60 and top speed are estimates as I couldn’t find these specs):
probably does does 0-60 in around 2.5-2.7 seconds
top speed is probably around 325-350 KM/H (200-215 MPH)
engine produces about 740 HP at max
this vehicle’s drivetrain is RWD
this vehicle’s weight is 816 kg (1,800 lbs)
