The Pontiac Fiero is a mid-engine sports car that was built by
American automobile manufacturer General Motors from 1983 to 1988
for the 1984 to 1988 model years. The Fiero was designed by George
Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti as a sports car. It was the first
two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes, and the first
mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S. manufacturer. Many
technologies incorporated in the Fiero design, such as composite
panels, were radical for their time. Other features included hidden
headlamps and, initially, integrated stereo speakers in the driver
and passenger headrests. A total of 370,168 units were produced
over the relatively short production run of five years. The 1986
Fiero arrived on 12 September 1985, however, the GT model was not
originally listed. The previous year's GT became the 1986 SE. The
1986 GT was delayed until 3 January 1986. This was the first time
the fastback roofline was offered, sometimes referred to as a
"1986�" model, as the new fastback body restyle was not yet ready
for release at the start of the model year. Though originally
conceived by Pontiac insiders as a new model, possibly called the
"GTP" or "GTU," it has been said that GM management at the time
felt that using "GTP" or "GTU" suggested a racing car, an image
they did not want to promote. Individuals present at the unveiling
of the new fastback roof style, in February 1984, at GM's Arizona
test track, actually thought it was a new Corvette at first.
