So this is my first deviation in 2008. As usually, it started its life as a pencil sketch for a small contest (link to the sketch: [link] )Hope you like it

and they had to close pontiac! i think you should buy it back you'd make a fortune selling this model... it looks like an aston martin, but american.

Beautiful!! For me to buy one, I would like to see more Year One 67-68 features... I realize the TA started in 69, but pulling in some subtle '67 features would be great... like the side fins behind the doors or split taillights.

It's a nice design, but uh to me it looks too much like a european Car to be a Firebird

Have you ever considered showing designs such as this to video game companies? I know I would love to drive a car like this around in burnout paradise if I couldn't have one in real life

Yeah, I've considered that but never actively offered them. I guess it would be more appropriate to be able to model my cars using a 3D software of sorts - which I'm lazy to learn

I've been wanting to learn to do 3d modeling, unfortunately the programs for it are either crap, or really freakin' expensive. If I ever do start modeling things I'll be sure to try this and show ya.Have you ever thought about drawing a convertible? I have a white 1984 trans-am convertible, I wonder how yours would look topless.

It might look good as a convertible, but I don't think I'll be doing any more variations of this car.

The ducktail rear end is awesome and is a trademark ta feature (exhaust would be toned down for a production version). The front end likely would have more a "chiseled" look, that is a common theme in todays sports gts. Think corvette headlamps with larger g8 functional hood scoops. Also think how the 4th gen brakeducts (non functional) were and give them a chiseled rectangle appearance. That would be my vision of a modern age ta, built on the zeta (camaro,g8,commodore) platform.
Good job though

Thanks for your comment, some of your suggestions could definitely improve the looks of it

I have but two gripes, it seems a bit short and the grille is a bit un-Pontiac like in that it isn't triangular or quad-grilled
Other than that I really like it especially the tail lights

Ok here is my take on your drawing. Now it's not perfect, but a quick add on to get a feel for what I think would make it look better. Just added more fourth gen stuff and a few little touches. If they came out with a car that looked like the one below, I would be all over that like white on rice

I see your point, you'd like it to look more like the 4th gen which makes it look more dated (at least to me). The hideaway lamps are history for safety reasons.
BTW, Your Trans Am looks cool, I'd love to own one like that.

nice im a tans am owner when i se stff like this gives me ideas for instance, a sheild on the head lights sliding back into the hood and the headlamp itself poping up with dual H>I>D> on each side lol wild ice work!!!

Wow man. That would seriously be awesome. XD I would so buy that car! Firebirds are awesome.
Nice work.

WONDERFUL design! Forget about any comments about the front end... you've taken the best elements of the past generations - enhanced them then added a new unique twist. FAV! The image has great detail and the highlights are awesome, you have lots of talent.
The only problem I see with this new Trans Am is that it is not in my driveway.

Thanks a lot for your comment. I'm glad you like it

Cool looking Trans Am. I was wondering did you used the New Camaro as a starting point or is the design all original.

Nope, the design is all original, based just on my sketch. I din't even try to match the Camaro wheelbase.

GM should use your design if they decide bring back the Firebird.lol

I drive a 4th gen, and I must say I love this design.

that'd be very awesome for the firebird to be made for '08, too bad they discontinued it after 2002
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
cool, dude if they made this new update I'd love to buy that car

that thing would be so badass on the streets and on the race track
