LeMans /l?'m??nz/ was a model name that was applied to subcompact-
and intermediate-sized automobiles marketed by Pontiac from 1962 to
1981 (1983 in Canada). Manufactured in five generations, the LeMans
line was replaced by the downsized Pontiac Bonneville for the 1982
-The LeMans was introduced as the top-of-the-line version of the
compact-sized Pontiac Tempest toward the end of the 1961 model year
on GM's new Y body platform. The Tempest LeMans was a trim package
featuring sportier and more luxurious trim than the Tempest,
including different badging and bucket seats. The trim option was
available only on the two-door sedan (pillared coupe) body style.
-Shortly after the start of the 1964 model year, the LeMans became
available with a new performance package designated as the GTO, or
'Gran Turismo Omologato'. The GTO option included a 389 cu in (6.4
L) V8 from the full-sized Pontiac line that produced 325 HP or 348
HP in Tri-Power version. -Available for the 1968 model year in the
Tempest line, a new engine replaced the 326 powering the GM A-body.
This new engine was based on all existing Pontiac engine
architecture and using the 326, 389, and 400 engines crank at 3.75"
and expanding the 326's 3.72" bore to 3.88" to give 353.84 cubic
inches. It was marketed by Pontiac as a 350, just like the original
326 was called rather that its true size of 325.84. For 1968 the
350 could be had in two versions at 265 hp 2bbl and 325 hp 4bbl.
