The Pontiac Project, initiated by Pontiac Motor Corporation in 1976 and later taken over by General Motors (GM) in 1980, aimed to revitalize the struggling American automaker through a series of innovative and technologically advanced projects. Focusing on performance, style, and cutting-edge technology, the project introduced models like the Pontiac Firebird GT and the Pontiac Solstice, which featured high-performance engines, advanced aerodynamics, and luxurious interiors. It also emphasized environmental responsibility with the development of the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, the Pontiac EV1, in 1991. Despite initial success and a strong brand identity, the project faced challenges, including financial difficulties and shifting market demands, ultimately leading to its discontinuation in 1994.
