June 30, 2008 by Adam · Leave a Comment
Performance from Pontiac is back, with the introduction of the new Pontiac G8. Available in two models, the Pontiac G8 Sedan starting at $27,595 and the Pontiac G8 GT starting at $29,995, Pontiac enthusiasts will find much to love about these action oriented cars.
The Pontiac G8 comes standard with a 3.6 L V6 engine capable of a whopping 256 hp and 248 lb-feet of torque. The new Pontiac G8 is one powerful car.
Drivers can expect to get about 17 mpg in the city, and 25 mpg once out on the highway. The G8 GT comes with an amazing 6.0 L V8 engine that achieves an unbelievable 361 hp and 385 lb-feet of torque. Both models come with traction control and performance suspension, which is a good thing because with this kind of performance drivers are going to want it.
Fuel efficiency for the G8 GT is about 15/24 mpg. The G8 comes with a 5-speed automatic transmission while the G8 GT has a 6-speed automatic transmission. Both come with Driver Shift Control and Sport mode. A dual outlet stainless steel exhaust completes the sport car look, so just in case everyone wasn’t already staring at your new Pontiac car in awe, they’ve got a good reason..
The interior of both models really demonstrates how Pontiac has taken the performance of a sports car and married it to the practicality of a family sedan. The G8 comfortably seats 5, but the driver’s dashboard has sporty looking readouts for fuel, speed, and RPM. The driver’s information center will display trip odometer, oil life, tire pressure, voltmeter, average speed, distance and time to go, average fuel, fuel used and overspeed and underspeed warnings.
The G8 Sedan comes standard with a Blaupunkt 7–speaker sound system with front center speaker and includes a AM/FM radio as well a CD player with a 5” display, an input for Apple iPod or MP3 player, and speed compensated volume. No matter how you like your music, the Pontiac G8 is ready for it all. The G8 GT has a similar audio package but with a 6.5” display and an incredible Blaupunkt 11-speaker sound system. A sunroof, available for both models, will complete the vehicle’s look.
When you’re ready to take the new Pontiac G8 out for a spin, stop by your Pontiac dealer – PA and check out the new inventory and specials or head on over to Lankford Auto’s website.
