You didn't think that 'Trans Am Depot' was the only tuner trying to make a screaming chicken out of the new Chevy Camaro Coupe, did you? Get ready to give a big warm mullet welcome to Lingenfelter's Pontiac Trans Am concept model at next month's SEMA gathering in Las Vegas. Based on the 2010 Camaro, the 455 TA is stylistically inspired by the 1971 Pontiac Trans Am and comes equipped with a 455 cubic inch (that's 7.5-liters) V8 pushing out a hefty 655 horsepower and 610 lb-ft of peak torque.
The teaser renderings provide us with our first look at the 455 TA's appearance that adds a newly styled fascia and rear end along with 20-inch custom honeycomb style wheels shod in beefy tires, a hood scoop, side air vents and a sweet duck-tail spoiler to the 2010 Camaro.
Lingenfelter says that 455 TA will also feature a custom interior, which we gather will hark back to the original Pontiac Trans Am.
Although the vehicle is billed as a concept for now, we're pretty sure that if there's enough interest in the car, Lingenfelter will go ahead and offer the Camaro-based 455 TA for sale.
