Pontiac announced the flagship of its GXP performance series, the Pontiac G8 GXP high-performance sedan, at the 2008 New York Auto Show. This 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP model will join the Solstice, G6 and Torrent GXP models in Pontiac dealerships in late 2008. The Pontiac G8 GXP takes the G8′s responsive driving experience, refined passenger environment and aggressive good looks to a new level. It also delivers an enjoyable driving experience, thanks to a 6.2L V-8 that produces in excess of 400 horsepower.

A new six-speed Tremec TR6060 manual transmission is optional on the Pontiac G8 GXP. This next-generation manual smoothly transfers the engine’s power and torque to the rear wheels with a reduction in shift throw. The transmission features a host of refinements including premium gear synchronizers; stronger gears, housing, and bell housing; a single-piece counter shaft; and machined gear teeth.
