We'd Love To Get Behind The Wheel Of This Fiero-Based Zimmer Quicksilver

What a unique sight! It's advertised as a 1986 Pontiac Fiero, but in fact, it's a Zimmer Quicksilver, which was based on a mid-engine Fiero coupe but significantly shaped by the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Over a foot of additional wheelbase has been added in front of the A-pillar to create a striking, long and low profile that nonetheless only has just enough space for two passengers in its cabin.

The rear wheels get 140 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque from a factory 2.8-liter V6 engine from General Motors, which is connected to a three-speed automatic gearbox. According to original road testing, the 0-60 time was just over 10 seconds, which wasn't awful back in the 1980s. 

For $18,495 and with less than 30,000 km on the clock, this 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver is a bargain. This automobile might be a great addition to anyone's garage.
