With design cues evocative of the legendary 1979 model, the 2018 Pontiac Firebird combines the spirit of the classic American muscle car with the fuel efficiency, safety, handling, technology and build quality expected in a modern performance coupe. The 2018 Firebird convertible is new for 2018.
The 2018 Firebird is available in three trims: Firebird, Trans Am and Convertible. The 2018 Firebird is powered by a 323-hp direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 with a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. The Trans Am's 6.2-liter V8 generates 426 horsepower with the standard six-speed manual, and 400 horsepower with the optional six-speed automatic with sequential shift control. The heart of the 2018 Firebird convertible is a supercharged 6.2-liter engine is rated at 580 horsepower and 556 lb.-ft. of torque. Standard equipment on all 2018 Firebirds includes independent rear suspension, StabiliTrak stability control with traction control, six airbags, air conditioning, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, OnStar and SiriusXM satellite radio.
The 2018 Firebird adds fog lights, 18-inch alloy wheels and power seats, while the convertible features unique front fascia, sport suspension, Brembo brakes, electric power steering, and a limited slip differential. The 2018 Firebird's standard magnetic fluid-filled shock absorbers react instantly to road conditions and driver inputs, and Performance Traction Management, the launch control feature (manual transmission only), automatically modulates engine torque for the best-possible acceleration without excessive wheel spin. The Trans Am also features a rear-differential cooler, an integrated engine- and transmission-oil cooler, leather seating surfaces with suede microfiber inserts, distinctive front fascia and hood with air extractors, unique 20-inch forged aluminum wheels and rear-park assist with a rear-view camera display. The available convertible Package includes 20-inch aluminum wheels with performance tires and distinctive high-intensity headlights with a "halo ring" display. Optional equipment includes power sunroof, performance tires, Boston Acoustics sound system and a variety of exterior stripe packages.
