2017 Trans Am
Plug in Sports Car
If you grew up
in the '90s, then you probably knew about the Pontiac Trans Am. The supercar,
which boasted a top speed of more than 160 mph, was the poster car of its time
( Smokey And The Bandit ), gracing the walls of young boys who grew up obsessed
with Power Rangers and Tim Burton's Batman.
Now, Pontiac has
unveiled its supercar for the 21st century. Called the 2017 Trans Am Plug In
Hybrid Sports Vehicles, this 487-horsepower gasoline-electric hybrid achieves a
terminal velocity of only 200 mph, a good deal less than its legendary predecessor;
however, Pontiac says the 2017 Trans Am Hybrid Plug In Sports Car can go from
0-186 mph a full 5 seconds quicker than the 2017 Firebird. How's that for
progress?.
The 2017 Trans
Am Hybrid is a plug-in hybrid. It can travel over 6 miles on electricity before
the twin-turbo V8 steps in.
Only a small
number of 2017 Trans Am Hybrid models will be produced, and each will cost more
than $38,000. Still, we're hopeful Pontiac will one day employ its hybrid
technology in all of its vehicles.
