The history of the Oldsmobile brand began in Lansing, Michigan, where Ransom Olds founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Inc. In 1899, it was bought by industrial magnate Samuel Smith, renamed Olds Motor Works, and built a new plant in Detroit.

The glorious but, alas, the vanished company Oldsmobile played the role of an engineering springboard within General Motors. In particular, its designers took part in the development of the Northstar V8 aluminum overhead engine for Cadillac models - progressive and high-tech by American standards of the time.

The sixteen-valve 2.3-liter Quad 4, which appeared in the late eighties on compact front-wheel drive, is also the work of Olds. The creators knew about the true potential of the cutting edge product and wanted to showcase it to the world. And at the same time promote it according to the principle "win on Sunday, sell on Monday." This is how an unprecedentedly fast supercar with a forced version of the Quad 4 and the self-explanatory name Aerotech was born.

It is based on the chassis of the March 84C Indica car. Outside, no "formulaic" quotes - the platform is covered with a carbon fiber aerodynamic body. The monster is so streamlined that the air mass barely senses its presence. Even at extremely high speeds at the fifth hundred!

It would seem, how is this possible with a motor "two and three"? But in this case, only the volume remained from the original Quad 4. The unit has been modified and thoroughly "inflated" with a huge turbocharger. The first iteration of the supercar developed a monstrous 900 hp. The second version with an extended "tail" and two turbochargers produced over a thousand "horses". In August 1987, she showed 443 km / h at a distance of a mile and an average speed of 430.337 km / h in arrivals in different directions.

The final modification of Aerotech received a 4.0-liter V8 engine from the Oldsmobile Aurora sedan, which in turn was a stripped-down version of Cadillac's Northstar. The supercar has broken 47 endurance records, including world speed records for distances of 10,000 and 25,000 kilometers, as well as international and national achievements. Fantasy? Just eight days of round-the-clock work of testers.
