New federal laws for 1973 demanded front bumpers capable of withstanding 5 mile per hour impacts without damaging any safety related components, and 5 mile per hour rear bumpers became standard in 1974. The 1973 GTO option was again offered on two models, the base LeMans coupe and the LeMans Sport Coupe, with a standard 400 cubic inch V8 reduced in compression to 8.0 to 1, which dropped its rating to 230 horsepower, and a hood accented with NACA ducts.
