An Italian-body, American-engine roadster with a detachable hardtop and a price tag that made Ferrari blush. It's drop-dead gorgeous, but it's a mechanical nightmare that only a masochist would daily-drive.
The Allanté was a luxury roadster built in collaboration with Pininfarina. It was front-drive, unibody on the GM V-body platform. Engines: 4.1L HT-4100 V8 (170 hp—1987-1988), 4.5L V8 (200 hp—1989-1992), or 4.6L Northstar V8 (295 hp—1993). Transmissions: 4-speed auto (THM200-4R or 4T60E). It had a detachable hardtop and a soft top. The body was built in Italy and flown to the U.S. for assembly.
The Allanté is rare and expensive to fix. The HT-4100 in the early cars is a time bomb. The 4.5L V8 is better. The 4.6L Northstar is the early version with head bolt issues. The Allanté's complex electronics and unique body panels make it a nightmare to maintain. It's a beautiful car, but it's a money pit. It's best left as a collector's piece.
