A mythical model from the 1990s, the Pontiac Trans Am GTA represents the pinnacle of the Firebird range with an engine directly derived from the Corvette and a chassis tuned for performance.

A deliberately limited engine: GM did not want the GTA to outshine the Corvette, hence the power limited to 235 hp even though the potential was much higher. GTA stands for “Gran Turismo Americano”: a nod to European GTs, but with a muscle-car twist. A unique Firebird: the only one to have an optimised chassis with sport suspension. Location: Paris. Price: €23, 500. A true icon of American muscle cars, ideal for collectors or US Youngtimers enthusiasts!
