Pontiac’s days may be numbered as General Motors
plans to phase out the historic brand by the end of 2010, but that hasn’t
dampened ASC Creative Services’ attempts to make a Trans Am version out of the
all-new Chevy Camaro coupe. ASC has worked many times with General Motors in the
past helping out in the creation and design development of cars like the 1987
Buick GNX, various Chevy SS models such as the HHR SS and Malibu SS, as well as
the Cadillac STS-V and XLR-V sport cars just to mention a few.
The design and development firm’s proposal for a Camaro-based Pontiac
Trans Am is a fairly simply conversion that could easily lead to a custom-order
production model. The changes include a new front fascia complete with unique
head lights, twin-kidney grill inserts and restyled apron, a rear-facing hood
shaker, new side skirts and alloy wheel designs plus rear-fender air vents. At
the back the design proposes a new rear fascia with distinctive tail lights,
boot spoiler and a specific apron housing new exhaust pipes.While we don’t have
any photos of the interior, we gather that ASC would most likely limit the
changes to the trim and seat options along with a revised instrument panel.
