The Pontiac Fiero, which featured composite panels and hidden headlamps, was the first mid-engine sports car mass-produced by a U.S. manufacturer. It was built by GM for the 1984-1988 model years. Initially powered by a 2.5 L inline 4-cylinder (and later the 2.8 L V6), the Fiero was on Car and Driver‘s Ten Best list and was also named the official pace car of the Indianapolis 500 in 1984.
The Hot Wheels Pontiac Fiero 2M4 made its debut in the 1985 Hot Wheels The Hot Ones series. It has been produced in about 27 variations up to as recently as 2013. This Malaysia-cast version of the 1985 first release is another of my finds in Lamont’s Childhood Collection.
I now have quite a few examples of the Hot Wheels Pontiac Fiero 2M4 in my collection, including a Hong Kong casting from 1985, the 1987 red, white and blue version, a black variation of the Collector #114 from 1991, the green with gold glitter Hot Ones example from 1992, as well as the green with gold glitter Ultra Hots version, also from 1992.
