1972 Pontiac Pegasus Concept
Written by Bill Bowman
Designed under the direction of William L. Mitchell, GM Design Vice President, the Pegasus was built as a "Design Concept" study from a production 1970 Pontiac Firebird.
Named "Pegasus", it initially ran a 3.3-liter Ferrari V-12 engine, but when that was deemed to weak, a 4.5-liter Ferrari engine replaced it. The grille reflects Osca/Ferrari’s influence that Mitchell favored.
