The Pontiac Firebird was a sports car produced by the American manufacturer Pontiac from 1967 to 2002. Introduced as a competitor in the growing pony car segment, the Firebird shared its platform with the Chevrolet Camaro but featured distinct styling and brand-specific performance options.
The Firebird was primarily offered as a two-door coupe or convertible with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Engine options ranged from inline six-cylinder units to high-output V8 engines, particularly in performance-oriented variants. Over its production run, the model evolved through four generations, with significant changes in design, powertrains, and technology.
One of the most recognized versions was the Firebird Trans Am, which emphasized performance upgrades and distinctive exterior features. The Pontiac Firebird became associated with American muscle car culture and motorsport. Production ended in 2002 following the discontinuation of the Pontiac brand in subsequent years.
