1985 saw the introduction of the 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT model, which looked just like the 1984 Indy model without the decals or body color wheels. The problem with insufficient power was addressed, much to the satisfaction of the general public.
The 1985 Pontiac Fiero had two engines available, a 2.8-liter V6 Chevrolet engine and a 2.5-liter variant, producing 94 and 143 horsepower respectively. The transmissions are also provided by other companies, such as the 5-speed gearbox built by Isuzu.
1985 Pontiac Fiero was a vastly improved vehicle, with a port-injected V6 engine and nearly 45 more horsepower, an increase of over 50-percent, than its 4-cylinder counterpart. In the proceeding years, other aspects of the Fiero GT were upgraded, including the suspension and brakes in 1988, and the addition of a rear spoiler and ground affects.
The 1985 Pontiac Fiero’s exterior dimensions are 4190 mm length, 1750 mm width, 1191 mm height, 2372 mm wheelbase, 1516 mm front track, and 1527 mm rear track.
