    Pontiac G8 GT Show Car 2007

    (from General Motors Press Release)

    Designed for enthusiasts who are passionate about performance, the all-new Pontiac G8 performance sedan – arriving at dealerships in early 2008 – is the first North American application of GM’s new global rear-wheel-drive architecture. The V8-powered G8 GT SEMA Edition was displayed at the ’07 SEMA Show with a host of tuner-inspired custom touches, including a hot orange paint scheme with matching leather seat inserts, door panels and instrument panel pad.

    Under the hood is the production 6.0L V-8, rated at 361 horsepower (268 kW) and 385 lb.-ft. of torque (520 Nm). A six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control backs the powerful small-block engine and complements a four-wheel independent suspension outfitted with unique 20-inch wheels and performance tires.

    The G8 GT SEMA Edition car is equipped with production equipment that includes:

    Standard ABS and traction control augmented by high-performance HSV brakes

    Electronic stability control

    Seat-mounted thorax air bags and dual-stage frontal air bags for front passengers, with automatic passenger sensing system

    Roof rail side-impact air bags for both seating rows

    OnStar with available Turn-by-Turn navigation

    Power-adjustable front seats

    Fog lamps

    Quad polished stainless steel exhaust tips

    Rear lip spoiler

    Augmenting the SEMA Edition is a series of modifications, including:

    Custom orange exterior paint

    Orange-accented interior components, including seat inserts, door panels and instrument panel pad

    Enhanced brake package with drilled and slotted rotors

    Lowered performance suspension package

    Twenty-inch wheels with performance tires

    The G8 has a progressive styling package highlighted by strong Pontiac design cues, such as a dual-port grille, fog lamps, bold wheels and a confident, wheels-at-the-corners stance. The car’s design accents Pontiac’s performance lineage, with fenders that flare over the wheels, seemingly hugging the wide tires and enhancing its athletic stance.

    Distinctive elements include hood scoops and front fender vents, as well as projector-beam headlamps housed in crystal-clear lenses. At the rear, taillamps feature bright detail work surrounding the red lighting elements.
    Engine = 6 liter V8
    Aspiration = natural
    Torque = 385 lb-ft
    HP = 361 hp
    HP/Liter = 60.2 hp per liter
