About the Pontiac Fiero
The Pontiac Fiero GT represents the peak of General Motors' ambitious mid-engined experiment. Introduced for the 1986 model year, the GT trim featured a distinctive 'fastback' roofline and a 2.8-litre V6 that addressed the performance criticisms of earlier four-cylinder models. While the 1987 model retains the original suspension geometry derived from the GM parts bin, it benefits from the larger 12-gallon fuel tank introduced that year. Collectors value the GT for its unique wedge-shaped aesthetics, composite body panels, and its historical status as the first mass-produced American mid-engined sports car.

Pontiac Fiero fun facts
- The Fiero's body panels are made of composite materials, meaning they are resistant to dents and will never rust.
- A special version called the Mera was sold through Pontiac dealers in 1987, featuring a body so similar to a Ferrari 308 that Ferrari successfully sued to stop production.
- The 1987 GT was the last year to use the original suspension design before the bespoke, improved setup arrived for the final 1988 model year.
