The Car That Made Ferrari Sue Pontiac

This is the Pontiac Mera, one of the rarest cars in the world. This Ferrari 308 look-alike quickly caught the eye of Ferrari causing them to sue Pontiac and shut down production. From Fiero to Mera. This is the story of the everyman's Ferrari.

The supercharged 3.8L from a Buick Riviera is actually a pretty straightforward swap into a Fiero, and, it would give it about the same HP as an actual 308.

[@johnmichaelkarma]

I remember Beretta Firearms sued Chevy over the name Beretta. Chevy settled by donating $500K to cancer research. Someone once quipped that Beretta should have just made a cheap unreliable gun and call it a Chevy.😎

Apparently GM was the first to make kit cars out of the fiero

[@jakespeed63]

Like so many others, was not truly aware of this. And honestly not a horrible looking body kit, unlike most. Nice to see someone embracing them. Perfect car to drive to “ Radwood” car show

Great video! I have MERA No. 8118, one of only 10 with the original T-Top. From Enzo Ferrari's protest at the 88 Detroit Motor Show, the Car & Driver Magazine Reviews, to the kick-off of the Ferrari kit car industry, we need Netflix/Amazon to do a deep-dive documentary on the crazy story of the Pontiac Mera.

@TV-WSNO Snepsburgh Television lol I didn't know streaming was dying. It never had much life to begin with...at least in my opinion.

[@kellingtonlink956]

I believe one of my neighbours (condominium) owned one (1990 Ottawa area). It was red, but he had replaced the Merra badges with Ferrari badges. I have to say that outside of the cloth and Fiero interior… it looked good. It didn’t look like a ‘replica’ (wrong colours, poor fit & finish, weird/slightly off dimensions, etc… ‘cheap looking’.). Thanks for the video, Shawn.

[@MindFloodMedia]

Thanks for the comment, they look great but I don't like the idea of changing the badges to pretend its something its not, people may not be able to tell, but you'd know.

[@rennwolfwolfgangkriegl]

I happen to own a Ferrari 328 GTS from 1987 and I guarantee you that anyone who is even remotely familiar with the 308 would never be fooled by this monstrosity for even a second. But to each his own. Enjoy!

[@EnligUlv]

This is the first I ever heard of this upgrade. I bought a new Fierro in 1984 and always thought the badge was a direct rip off of Ferrari’s badge. Of course In Ferrari’s mission statement is the goal of suing everyone with a postal address 🤣

Me too and it keeps popping up in my feed all of a sudden I don't know if I clicked on it at one time or not but I've seen about three thumbnails with this thing on it. They should do a track test between the two. 308s were particularly slow for Ferraris I absolutely love the body style though.

[@thompsonterry4804]

In the early ‘90s a car guy in my area was buying Fieros and rebodying them for sale, but not offering conversion kits. They were less directly Ferrari-inspired but his own designs that shared some style elements. Used to see a few cars in various stages of production for a couple of years. And despite that, I never knew of the Mera.

Well to make thing worse for Pontiac! The people who bought them cars soon rebadged the emblems for Ferrari badges and emblems.

[@vice4134]

@@undividual3891 That's different. A owner of Mera did that, not the business.

[@acescionti711]

It’s not just the brand badging. Ferrari owned the rights to the body design as well along side. Bartone/pininferina. That body style at that time belonged to Ferrari copyright. Car manufacturers own rights to their cars esthetics/ body design. It’s the whole reason you can’t blatantly put a car into a game and slap a different badge on it Game developers need express permission and or need to buy rights to use manufacturers cars in games. Same applies to irl cars Just looking at this mera. Yeah it’s infringing on Ferraris copy right at the time. And it’s easily understandable why this happened to anybody who has an understanding of business side in cars. Yes it’s sad it happened. Because it is a nicely stylized car. And too see something like that under Pontiac near the beginning of the company’s gradual downfall under gm is especially interesting. However this situation wasn’t unjustified

[@ricardocuevas7815]

Short and to the point. Love the video. Know all about the MERA. And when I find one for sale I'm buying it.

[@MindFloodMedia]

Thanks! I highly encourage that!

[@Asphaltsquadron]

I worked for Canyon Pontiac Buick GMC (Valencia, California) in '87-'88. I'd heard rumblings about these via the sales team and mechanics (I worked the parts counter) but never saw one, not even a picture. I do however remember that the 6 cyl GT's were ALWAYS in the service drive. Mostly for overheating issues. The 4 cyl, not so much. Great concept that was poorly executed hence the death of the line-up soon after.

[@daleanderson7794]

My daughter had a 86 Fiero GT with the 2.8l v6 in 97, I worked on this car constantly. The oil pan rusted out and I replaced it, the manual transmission shifter fell apart I guess from vibrations and the only problem I had from overheating was when I changed the coolant and didn’t get all the air out. But it was a blast to drive, you sat so low it was like driving a go cart.

[@richardbullwood5941]

The four cylinders had problems with catching fire. I had one in 1991 that had a free Factory recall for new manifold and exhaust. Also, a valve cover gasket replacement because that's where leaking oil was igniting. By the time they hammered out all the issues, it was a decent little car. But sometimes a very poor start can lose you the race no matter how well you run

I remember being with my brother at the GM Nationals at Carlisle and he was puzzled by the "Ferraris" at the end of the Fiero row. Had to see, and yes there were 2 of them there. There was also a guy with a black/gray Typhoon selling it for $7500, which was gone in an instant. I'm a TR guy, and I love the oddities. One of my biggest regrets was not knowing my friend was selling his bench seat Astroroof WH1 (non G80 strangely) for $1800. Some guys from Harrisburg bought it, pulled the engine for a ho-hum t-top GN and crushed the rest around 2006. Probably a 1 of 1 out of the 493 made in '86. I still wake up pissed off sometimes about that. Thank you to your friend for saving this.

I have a 308 and I still think this car is great, although I’m not surprised Enzo didn’t agree! No more than Shelby I guess, who kept himself busy suing cobra replica manufacturers for many years. For us enthusiasts, we”re all just enjoying our cars so stuff like this is great. Front and rear on it looks fairly convincing, side on the proportions aren’t quite there. It feels shortened and the rear end a little high somehow. I’d be tempted to drop the rear an inch or so and fill the arches out a little more with some 15” 5 spokes. Then again the owner may not be particularly interested in closer looks. Mine is an injected Euro spec car, so 215 rampagingItalian horses! Quick it ain’t, so they’re a good match there 😂

No need to be "quick" man, still a badass and unique car, and one of the all time must beautiful. Hope you're enjoying it

Owner here. I'd eventually like to drop it a little and offset the rear wheels a bit to better line up with the arches. As it sits now, they're noticeably tucked in under the fenders. Gonna keep the stock wheels on it, though the 88 models had 5-spoke Cromodoras.

It's so popular, they have a second section at The Bay, with all the newer Corvettes and other "supercars", but the main section has cars of EVERY era, style and condition.
