So, if fuel economy isn’t the selling point of the
hybrid, what is? Power. The 2017 Trans Am hybrid comes equipped with a
5.0-liter, V-8 engine and a high-output permanent magnet electric-drive motor
that deliver a very smooth 438 horsepower in combined output. The engine and
motor are mated to an Trans Am hybrid transmission with sequential shift. The
gasoline Trans Am Hybrid comes equipped with a 4.6-liter, V-8 engine that
delivers 386 horsepower in the RWD model and 360 horsepower in the AWD model.
The power that the 2017 Pontiac Trans Am Hybrid delivers
is pretty phenomenal. Whether you need the immediate speed when coming off a
stop or you need the extra oomph to pass on the highway, the 2017 Trans Am
hybrid always comes through. It gets 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, a half-second faster
than the other AWD models. Acceleration is smooth and fast. And while it isn't
quite tummy flipping fun, it is certainly smile worthy.
