Owned by GM, this vehicle was recently displayed at the 25th anniversary Fiero car show in Michigan, Detroit. It features a 200+ HP DOHC V-6 and resembles both the the fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. The styling on this model was a further evolution of the top-line 1988 GT.

No matter where in the world it is today, each Fiero frame went through a 2.5 story Gilman mill-and-drill machine where its chassis was gauged at the tops and leading edges of both doors and centered cross-car, then drilled with 39 mounting points for the external body panels. This precision allowed panels to be fitted within ± 0.50mm. The entire process took less than 1 minute to complete.
