A decade ago, General Motors had powertrain engineering and development facilities scattered at locations all over southeast Michigan. The automaker also had a big chunk of property in Pontiac, Mich. that was formerly home to the eponymous GM car brand. Nearly 20 years after building the last Fiero in Pontiac, GM decided to raze most of the existing buildings on the site in order to create a new global powertrain engineering center which opened in 2008. GM has now completed that consolidation with the opening of the new 111,420 square foot Powertrain Performance and Racing Center (PPRC).
