The final version of the 2018 Pontiac Firebird is a beautifully sculpted vehicle worthy of the eagle perched on its front hood. It connects the past to the present and readies the Firebird for the next 50 years with three powertrains, an all-new integral-link independent rear suspension, and loads of driver-friendly features.
A Leaner Look The best way to view any car is from a distance. Stand too close, and you’ll miss its real impact. It’s why Pontiac uses a secure courtyard to look at different versions of a 2018 Firebird. Last June, after working on it for three years, Pontiac finally saw the Firebird in the courtyard as it appears now. From 50 feet, the 2018 Pontiac Firebird is stunning. It has the presence of a soldier at the ready—muscular, lean, and ready to attack. As you move closer, it remains just as impressive. Designers were inspired by the 1965, 1967, and 1979 Firebird’s, but created a modern vehicle. Less evolution, more revolution.“We pulled out all the stops to create the 2018 Firebird,” . “And in the end we were able to lower it and rework the proportions that give it that right stance.”
