Pontiac Turbo Trans Am
The Turbo Trans Am was one of the most unique cars GM ever built. It utilized a 4.9-liter V8 with a turbocharger. This was something that no other automaker had attempted before. It gave the Trans Am a lot of performance over the other muscle car models on the market at the time (via Hot Cars).
GM found a way to get around a lot of the emissions regulations and this was a very popular version of the Trans Am. This was very similar to the car that was featured in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ and helped to further the Trans Am line.
