The Trans Am made its mark decades ago, but its latest evolution goes far beyond nostalgia. With modern powertrains, customizable builds, and unmistakable attitude, it’s designed to impress loyal fans and newcomers alike. These standout details prove it’s not just living in the past.

It’s Built By Trans Am Worldwide, Not Pontiac

Pontiac’s shutdown in 2010 officially ended Trans Am production, but Florida-based Trans Am Worldwide brought it roaring back. Founded by restoration pros Tod and Scott Warmack, the company now builds each car by hand on a sixth-gen Camaro chassis with full legal rights.

The Super Duty Version Cranks Out 1,000 Horsepower

The SD 455 Super Duty features a hand-built 7.4L twin-turbocharged V8 that makes 1,000 horsepower and 1,046 lb-ft of torque. This isn’t a reworked crate motor—each engine is custom-built, delivering supercar-level performance in a muscle car body born to dominate.

Classic T-Tops Are Fully Functional Again

Every modern Trans Am brings back the iconic T-tops, now completely removable and reinforced for structural strength. Each set is tailor-fitted to match the retro silhouette perfectly. These T-tops maintain old-school looks while locking into a sturdier, reengineered frame.

Built On A Modern Camaro Platform

Today’s Trans Am may look vintage, but it rides on the sixth-gen Camaro SS and keeps GM’s Alpha platform, which offers modern crash protection and handling. Even the brakes, electronics, and suspension carry over to blend heritage with tech that passes emissions tests.

Only A Limited Number Are Ever Made

Trans Am Worldwide produces fewer than 100 units per special edition, which gives each car a rarity and serious collector appeal. Every build comes with a unique ID plate and certificate. Some limited edition models even sell out just days after they’re announced.

The Iconic Screaming Chicken Returns In Style

Most new Trans Ams come standard with the legendary Firebird hood graphic, hand-laid for crisp detail and deeper visual impact. But, buyers even customize flame patterns or colors, building on Norm Innis’s iconic 1970 design that helped define the Trans Am’s fiery identity.

It Offers A 6-Speed Manual Transmission Option

Trans Am fans can choose a 6-speed Tremec manual with upgraded clutches and short-throw shifters for a more engaging drive. Enthusiasts love the feel of full control behind the wheel, and this gearbox delivers the kind of analog experience muscle purists crave.

Carbon Fiber Enhancements Are Available

Performance-minded buyers can equip the Trans Am with carbon fiber hoods, spoilers, and splitters. These components are custom-molded for each vehicle and reduce overall weight, enhancing speed and handling while giving the car a more aggressive stance straight out of the shop.

Packed With Modern Tech Features

Every new Trans Am includes Apple CarPlay and Bluetooth connectivity through a touchscreen interface. Rearview cameras and climate systems come standard, while high-performance models add data tracking tools that bring tech-driven muscle to a classically styled machine.

You Can Choose From Multiple Retro-Inspired Editions

Buyers can pick between standout models like the 50th Anniversary, Hurst, or Bandit Edition, each offering its own mix of styling and performance tweaks. The Bandit Edition, for instance, carries distinct graphics and colors that pay homage to the 1977 film “Smokey and the Bandit”.
