1986 Pontiac Fiero

The Fiero was the company's P-body two-passenger, mid-engined sports car. The 1986 Pontiac Fiero was available as the Base Coupe, Sport Coupe, SE, and GT. The base engine was an overhead valve four-cylinder engine displacing 2.5-liters and offering 92 horsepower. The Fiero SE was equipped with a Rally Tuned suspension, 14-inch cast-aluminum wheels, and a black-accented aero-package.

An optional 2.8-liter V6 engine was available with a multi-port fuel injection system, offering 140 horsepower. Standard equipment included reclining bucket seats in Pallex cloth trim with optional leather, suede and cloth trim. The Sport Coupe models wore P185/76R14 tires with new tri-tech wheel coves. Aluminum wheels were optional. Body colors included Black, Red, White, Gold, and Silver.

New for 1986 were sail-panel stereo wheels which replaced the former headrest units. The design was very similar to the 1985 model; the smooth-surfaced front end now had a single-center air slot with separate areas for park/signal lamps.

Pontiac produced 952,943 vehicles in 1986. 83,974 of those were the Pontiac Fiero. Pricing began at $9,950 for the Base Coupe and rose to $12,870 for the GT Coupe.
