Pictured: Lingenfelter 455 T/A Concept


Car and Driver is the first to snap some real life pictures of the Ligenfelter 455 T/A Concept, and it's a keeper. Lingenfelter isn't the first to take the looks of the Firebird Trans-Am and apply them to a Camaro body, but they have arguably done the best job.

It is likely that after the show is over, Lingenfelter could offer the body and engine package for light production or sale by kit. The engine is the real deal, a 455 CID/7.5-liter V8 that packs 11.5:1 compression, ported and polished LS7 heads, a new intake and a forged crankshaft. Altogether that adds up to 655 horses and 610 lb-ft. of torque.
