Pontiac is on its way out just as the new 2010 Chevy Camaro has arrived. Had this been a decade or two earlier, the Camaro would most certainly be accompanied by an equally sick Pontiac version, namely the Trans-Am. But even before it was decided to put the final nail in Pontiac's coffin, General Motors had no intention of developing a new Trans-Am based off the Camaro. Well, someone should, and someone did. Enter ASC, otherwise known as American Specialty Cars, the sub-contractor responsible for building many of the convertibles you see on the road today like the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder and Toyota Camry Solara Convertible. ASC also has experience building whole specialty cars for manufacturers, having been the building force behind such machines as the Chevy SSR, GMC Syclone/Typhoon and even the unforgettable Buick GNX.

Now, according to DUB, ASC will take your 2010 Camaro and transform it into a modern-day Trans-Am. We don't have too many details except for these few renderings, but the Pontiac-ification of the Camaro looks great from the front and we dig the duck tail spoiler. The air inlets behind the doors are a little much and for all we know are non-functional, but the overall treatment evokes Pontiac's past in much the same way that Chevy's new muscle car draws inspiration from past Camaros without copying them outright.

it looks like a mustang.

I like it, move those vents from behind the door and place them up on the front quarter panel like they should be and you would have a winner.

I think it is pretty damn sick, but you always have someone who thinks they could have done it better, or its ugly, damn, wonder why you guys ain't designing cars for GM or Ford, probably because the people with the real talent are already doing it. There is a reason you all don't work for them.

Front end reminds me of....

TightSS

I agree totally on the Bentley front end. Giant air dam city..........

Priest

I like it. Tone down the air damming, fender flaring, and body kitting and it looks damn good. As a matter of fact, I would get a Camaro and get the TA rear on it (excluding the bird of course). I would want to see a WS6 style hood on it though.

It's a fake Pontiac. Who would buy a Camaro to turn it into that? It might look cool (opinions vary) but it's the idea of it that makes me scratch my head.

I think it looks really good to bad gm didn't do this for real

Ugly. They should look at the 100's of fan renders and scrap that crap.

I knew it was only a matter of time before a "5th Gen" Firebird came out!

BigBake

The Firebird has always been just a cosmetic difference.

this man hit right on the head.

hopefully this is a conversion kit that you can just purchase instead of giving your camaro to them and them charging 10k for the conversion on top of your camaro. sorta like taking your mustang gt an shipping it off for addition 15k to convert it to a gt500 replica.

this conversion should not go over 5-6k.

it would like even better if the shaker was just a little bit bigger like the 70's.

i think looks better than the new camaro. especially the *** end.

DaveX

This is basically true but they came from GM this way, which made them real and not fake. What's next, a fake pontiac vette? Doesn't appeal to me at all.

OldSchoolFormula

Not always, at least not for the 1st and 2nd gens...

Sure would like to see Kevin Morgans designs over this ASC design as the front end is terrible.

That car is ******* ugly and looks like the "stuck on" job it is. If they ditch the ground effects and incorporate tail lights that don't look like they actually came from the 80s, it might be decent. I've seen much better looking renderings.


I think desperation might have you bird boys a tad delusional.
