This Pontiac Trans Am Revival Delivers Greater Power Than a Bugatti Veyron | Carscoops

      A Florida-based shop has constructed only 50 examples of the retro-inspired Camaro and is currently offering two for sale.

      The Trans Am Super Duty is equipped with a 7.4-liter supercharged V8 engine that exceeds 1,000 horsepower.

      Both vehicles feature lightweight carbon fiber body panels and a unique interior design.

      Although the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has not been in production for many years, its legacy endures. This lasting allure motivated a small American company, Trans Am Worldwide, to resurrect the nameplate following the introduction of the fifth-generation Camaro in 2010.

      Now, two of these limited-edition creations are available for purchase in Florida.

      To revitalize the Trans Am, the team utilized a Camaro as a base, transforming it into something distinctly unique. They reconfigured the body panels, updated the interior, and completely revamped the powertrain, resulting in a vehicle that can compete with true supercars.

      A Limited-Batch Revival

      The completed model, named the Trans Am Super Duty, was restricted to just 50 units. Trans Am Specialties in Florida is now selling two of these exclusive cars.

      The first one, car number 12, is finished in a deep black with silver wheels. Like all Super Duties, it features redesigned bumpers, modern grilles, and new lighting elements both front and back, all designed to embody the essence of the iconic 'screaming chicken.'

      Inside, the vehicle continues its personalized theme with black and grey leather upholstery, enhanced by blue piping and embroidered logos on the seats and headrests.

      Power Beyond Reason

      Under the hood lies an impressive 7.4-liter supercharged V8 generating over 1,000 horsepower and 1,046 lb-ft (1,418 Nm) of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission. This power exceeds that of the original Bugatti Veyron, which produced 987 hp (1,001 PS), and surpasses the output of many contemporary supercars.

      These power levels are remarkable, especially considering this car was produced in 2017, years before Ford revealed its latest Shelby GT500 with 760 hp and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) of torque.

      The other Trans Am Super Duty available for sale, number 3, is painted blue and features removable carbon fiber T-tops, along with the same powerful 1,000 hp engine. Its interior showcases a blend of black and red leather.

      Priced for the Faithful

      While the asking price for the black vehicle hasn't been disclosed, the blue model is listed at $275,000. This is certainly a high price for a car based on a Camaro, even one with all-carbon fiber components and a power output in the four digits.

      Nonetheless, this nostalgic experience, paired with significant supercharged performance, may appeal to dedicated enthusiasts. Interested buyers can view the listings at Trans Am Specialties in Florida.
