The last
ever 2017 Pontiac Firebird has been teased a year ahead of its arrival in local
showrooms.
Pontiac
revealed little of the new car’s shape – showing only parts of the vehicle including
a muscular-looking front end, a stylish set of alloy wheels and exhaust pipes
shrouded in an angular housing.
Pontiac
previewed the 2017 Firebird ironically at an event designed to showcase the brand’s
future models beyond 2019.
Pontiac
offered few details on the 2017 Firebird car, but reiterated previous points that it will
benefit from fuel economy improvements.
These
improvements will come from areas such as enhanced aerodynamics,
low-rolling-resistance tyres, and a lighter, “new high-tech” six-speed
automatic gearbox.
Pontiac says
the auto will bring adaptive gearshifts and quicker acceleration.
Pontiac used
the same event to announce new models for the future, which include the
next-generation Pontiac Firebird from 2017.
Pontiac Firebird sales continue to struggle,
and the model posted its worst sales figures ever .
At the
Pontiac event, Pontiac boss didn’t offer a guarantee that the Firebird will not
stop production before December 2019.
