Pontiac is one of those American brands that went under not too long ago – in 2009, to be precise. In the last few years of their life, they used to rebadge cars made by Holden in Australia and sell them in the United States. You might recognize this from the last GTO that they sold, which was actually a Holden Monaro. Well, they also rebadged the Holden Commodore as the Pontiac G8. The Commodore/G8 was a full-size sedan with a full-fat V8 under the hood. This particular 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is one of those cars, and since the G8 was only made between 2007 and 2009, less than 40,000 were sold. So, here’s your chance to get something quirky with just 38,000 miles on the clock and an all-important LS3 engine under the hood. It is reportedly a custom build because it’s got some changes from stock.
Exterior and Interior
On the face of it, you wouldn’t be able to tell that this silver 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is different from any other G8. The car has those characteristic Pontiac design cues paired with a characteristic muscle car stance. The large five-spoke alloy wheels, twin-nostrilled front grille, hood vents, and rear quad exhausts all contribute towards this car’s larger-than-life persona. The interior of this 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is practical and family-friendly. It’s got dual-zone climate control with air conditioning and rear passenger air vents, a decent sound system, and a Blaupunkt-branded touchscreen head unit. Then, you have the expected power features such as electric windows, mirrors, and door locks. It’s all very conventional, and nothing is stripped out. You’re not compromising on anything with this 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP and its roomy trunk waiting to swallow up all the luggage needed for that weekend trip.
Engine
However, beneath the hood of this 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP lies a new LS3 V8 that’s waiting to be awakened. It drives the rear wheels through a glorious six-speed manual transmission. Then, the car has received a new front subframe, a new fan blower, new shocks, new coilovers, and new brakes. It’s also been upgraded with a ZL1 rear end.
