Launched in 1983, the Pontiac Fiero was a mid-engine, affordable sports car that didn’t quite make it on the wall of fame.
It was described as heavy, underpowered, and not that reliable, despite its interesting recipe. But this particular homebrewed Fiero is different.
It weighs only 2,300 pounds (1,043 kg), since most of it is missing, and it boasts up to 750 hp thanks to the 4G63, tuned Mitsubishi Sirius engine mounted in the middle. Featured on Matt Farah’s The Smoking Tire show, the monster-Fiero kept the presenter visibly terrified at the beginning of the video, and alert while wrestling with it around the track. To top it off, the engine was de-tuned to ~450 hp, so that Farrah could handle it.
