[ad_1] Pontiac, known for its powerful engines, was at the forefront of automotive trends in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Tempest and LeMans, for example, were available with a 400 cubic inch engine producing 345 horsepower in 1970.

While the Chinese version of the EZ-6 offers a range extender option with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated inline four gas engine, the prototype spotted testing in Germany is equipped with a purely electric powertrain.
