Air Power Systems (APS) set out to deliver a thoroughly engineered high horsepower intercooled twin turbo system for the new Pontiac G8. With over 25 years of turbocharging and intercooling experience, they have possibly produced the ultimate intercooled twin turbo system for the Pontiac G8.
Last month Holden celebrated its 60th anniversary with the unveiling of the Coupe60 concept car, a two door version of the VE Commodore sedan that many suspect will eventually spawn a successor to Australia’s Monaro Coupe.
50 Cent along with Maximum Bob Lutz unveiled the Pontiac G8 GXP, and specifically its optional six-speed manual transmission. The G8 comes with a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 pulled from the Corvette, making 402 hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.
To some it's Deja vu; to others it was simply a matter of time before GM tried to market another Holden in the United States. This time, however, the offer seems to have something to please everyone-and plenty to scare its competitors.
50 Cent is a busy man, and his appearance at SEMA is for more than just show. The night before the convention started, 50 unveiled the new Pontiac G8 surrounded by GM executives, automotive suppliers and journalists in a ballroom at the Wynn Las Vegas.
50 Cent - Amusement Park - Pontiac G8 and Pontiac G6 GXP as co-stars
You can't really blame Pontiac for giving its Pontiac G8 Concept and Pontiac G6 GXP to rapper 50 Cent to use in his video for the song "Amusement Park". After all, pick a premium nameplate like Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini or Ferrari and one could find at least half a dozen music videos in which each marque has been featured prominently.
GM Holden celebrated today as the first Pontiac G8 engineering prototypes to be produced at Holden Vehicle Operations in Elizabeth rolled off the line.
The G8 will be available in Pontiac dealerships in the United States in early 2008 to take its place among General Motors' flagship high performance vehicles.
