A 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora with 8,000 miles is being offered for sale. This model features a 4.0-liter V-8 engine, which is a smaller version of Cadillac's Northstar engine. The engine is constructed from aluminum and has double overhead camshafts. In its production form, this engine generated 250 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
This specific Aurora is described as a pristine example. The model was designed with aerodynamics in mind. The 4.0-liter V-8 engine also powered Oldsmobile Aerotech endurance racers, which were derived from earlier speed-record vehicles. These endurance racers reportedly set 47 world records.
The Aurora was positioned as a flagship sedan. The vehicle's design and engine were intended for highway cruising. The current example has low mileage, suggesting it has seen limited use. The auction for this vehicle is scheduled to conclude on September 23.
