Pontiac Unveils G6 GXP Show Car
Enhancements hint at possible new offering in growing G6 portfolio
Seeking to build on the 25-percent retail sales gain by the G6 so far this year, Pontiac is revealing a new G6 GXP coupe show car at the upcoming New York International Auto Show. Designed to augment the G6’s sleek styling with a more aggressive appearance and stance, the new GXP show car will test both media and public reaction before any final decision on production is made.
“Although the GXP performance series has been very successful in the past, we’ve never attempted to introduce a GXP on our largest volume vehicle and we want to be sure we do it right,” said Dennis Maraone, Pontiac product director. “We believe the package of exterior, interior and performance enhancements we’ve put together on the G6 GXP show car should appeal to 2+2 coupe enthusiasts.”
Highlighting the exterior styling changes is a redesigned front fascia, featuring an integrated lower air dam and an aggressive chrome treatment of Pontiac’s signature twin-port grille, as well as a twin air scoop hood. Around back, the new rear fascia shows off the dual chrome-tipped exhaust and unique “hammerhead” spoiler. Side rocker panels, 19-inch wheels, vented cross-drilled brake rotors, and a 25-mm reduction in suspension height finish off the GXP’s ground-hugging appearance.
Inside, red accents give the GXP a sportier flavor than a standard G6. The red chrome trim on the instrument cluster, center stack and door controls augments the red leather seat and door panel inserts.
Under the hood, the G6 GXP uses a modified 3.9-liter V-6 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Linking a ram air induction system with K&N air filter to a cat-back free flowing exhaust helps boost engine output to 270 horsepower (202 kw) and 259 lb.-ft. of torque (358 Nm).
The GXP performance series was introduced in 2003 with the Bonneville GXP. The Grand Prix GXP joined the line in 2005 and currently accounts for 30 percent of all Grand Prix retail sales. The Solstice GXP launches this fall.

Look on the picture above you.
If you have not noticed, it's that the first pic does not have a clutch pedal (and it is a manual) the "revised" one does. Yep GM is a goof.

I do not have official pricing yet, but expect it over $25K.
The car screams Pontiac, the spoiler has a Trans-Am look to it too. I love it just because of the radical Pontiac styling. Yhea it has a G35 look to it, but it looks more out there.
The front reminds me of Bugs Bunny's teeth.

the only gross part of the car is the grill openings
just like rk's solstice front bumper
the openings are to stretched out and exaggerated
the roush G6 has a sweet bumper
and i dont see any paddle shifters , i see the tilt lever , and the 2 multi fuction stalks , and the cruise/radio controls on the steering wheel
i even blew the pic up , and you can see the auto brake pedal , but no paddle shifters
gotta love GM's screw up on the brake/clutch pedal , LOL
guess its the new manual shift auto trans , LOL
For the love of god... lol
The pic is a typo, there is no paddle shifter, no automatic, problem here is that GM forgot to put a clutch in their original pic.
