Looks like they extended the trunk, which would be a natural evolution givin the chassis design.

The 90 prototype build video shows a tray that was inserted in the dead space between the trunk and the tail lights, this extended trunk was a much better idea!

Great idea of moving the coolant pipes inboard, that would have saved alot of people getting crushed coolant pipes from misplaced jacks and lifts.

It looks like the 90 was farther along in the design stage than previously thought.

ME WANTS!!!!!

Glad you liked them, but like I said, on my ratings bar there is more red, than green, and I'd like the red to go away, and to change all green.

The 2 switchs ran the power decklids in back, the left was for the engine decklid, and the right, was trunk decklid. and MY GOD the truck lid weighed 200+ pounds, it couldn't support itself!!! The center caps, I don't know about, it had some sort of prototype rims on it, with a big W in the middle, so it did have caps, but it was too small, and stuff. The convertible also had the same rims.

The grey version, is this red version, it was repainted in its life, as you can see by the overspray in the other pics.

Read the post up top, the switchs are for the decklids, and the dash pod is from a Trans Am. The badge on the front of the car also says GTA Trans Am, one guy there said they just threw the badge on quickly, to have a badge on it. So the new redesigned pegasus wasn't done probably. Oh a DVD of the 20th coverage, well over 4 hours long is being made, and it'll be less than $10.

https://www.fiero.nl/uploads/imgs2003/P1010013_9.JPG

that's one happy looking car. the camera loves it!

whoever's bright idea it was to cancel the car's production when it got *this* far must've been on something... something bad...

though I wouldn't mind one of those imported Opels (or Vauxhaull... either one), I don't think it will 'feel' the same... not like handling and stuff, but the fact that those others would be imports doesn't sit right with me.

I just hope they don't ruin the Fiero name by creating a terrible replacement for it using the same name (Malibu comes to mind).

Great pics... are there more?

The 90 Prototype video also shows how they take the standard spaceframe and add onto it to create the extra length in the back. But I agree, this prototype is better than the one in the video.

the CTS one is Opel derived and is Rear Wheel Drive, it also shares no appearence similarities to the one in the Fiero. The one in the Fiero seems like it would be similar to the 3.4 TDC

Figures... now maybe people will listen!

It would be a guess on my part but I would guess it a 495 or 100495. But then again I am from Florida and will have to get a recount.

Ummm.....I may be the only one who will stick his neck out and say it, but I don't like the looks of it.
It looks waaay too much like a Firebird (never liked the looks of them).
The Firebird shape was quickly dated and this prototype shares a lot of that shape.

No offense, but I prefer the look of the 88 fastback.... it just has more of an exotic shape to it.

Now as far as the other modifications (interior, engine, deck/trunk-lid, etc..) and am impressed and pleased. Wish they would have continued the FIero (duh..)

Sorry to ruin the fun, but that is just my opinion.

my god! the Fiero tach must have a 300 maybe even 400 higher redline! Thats way higher than the Trans Am's! :roll eyes:

Actually it really doesnt, that must be an LT1 pod. The 3.4 pod has the same redline as that Fiero pod and the 3,8 and LS1 pod have higher redlines

and the firebird has a 120mph speedo
