Default 5th Gen Trans Am rendering...
This might be a repost, where the heck was I that I missed it....? What the hell was I doing back in 2009....? Anyways, I think it looks awesome and just wanted to share.

Here's link where I found it:

I missed that one. I would have liked to see a 5th gen go low and wide, but that one looks too Japanese for my taste.

That has to be one of the most hideous concepts I've ever seen.

Looks like a Mazda with some Grand Am features. Not nearly as aggressive or muscular as a Trans Am should be.

Wow! I really did not thought it would get so many thumbs down. I liked it due to the fact that it seems like its based off the new camaro, which would've made it possible back then... Not anymore with Pontiac being dead..... I like it all except for the hood, it does need some sort of a dual inlet ram air scoops and rear end needs some work to resemble its heritage. I sure missed that concept thats for sure......

you guys are way too close minded. Completely opvious that if it were to actually to go into production that it wouldn't look anything like that. A million things would get changed.

With that said the styling cues are actually pretty neat. Really obvious that the front bumper was sculpted from a Boneville lol

That's the Kevin Morgan design. I like the back lights on the OP's post though. A two piece light would be neat.

I loved Kevin Morgan's design on paper, but when Trans Am Country brought it to reality...it just didn't work.



The only conversion, for me, that captures the essense of what the Firebird was is the only one not calling itself a Firebird or Trans Am



plus its a movie car.
