Fiero - Pontiac's Potent Mid-Engine Sports Car [Hardcover]

Gary Witzenburg (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1987

Hardcover with dustjacket, 8.5 x 11 inches, horizontal format, 114 pages, 10 chapters, 266 illustrations.

Author Gary Witzenburg chronicles the development, life and afterlife of Pontiac's sporty and innovative Fiero. From its radical chassis and body engineering, developed under engineer Hulki Aldikacti in the early 1980s, through styling and assembly processes, the Fiero blazed new trails all the way.

The car began as a four-cylinder commuter in 1984 and ended up a genuine sports/GT fastback in 1988, with its V6 and suspension second to none.

This book also records the Fiero's racing career, its wins, awards, engine mods, turbo variants, factory and after-market accessories, plus full specifications. And author Witzenburg interviewed all the people who made this project a reality.

5.0 out of 5 stars quite good, December 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fiero: Pontiac's Potent Mid Engine Sports Car (Hardcover)

This is a very nice book on the Fiero.It contains the history and development of "Americas only mid engine sports car" with many nice color pictures. It really is a must for all Fiero enthusiasts. My only quibbles are that the info on the 1988 models is a bit sparce, and that it does not include the story about the end of the production run.

Probably the bible on the Pontiac Fiero development and models at the time it was written.
