The G6 GXP concept is powered by a 3.6-liter HO V-6 producing 275 horsepower and backed by a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission.As with the production models of the Bonneville GXP and Grand Prix GXP, the new G6 GXP show vehicle carries more than just a higher dose of horsepower. It features an integrated system of chassis and suspension refinements designed to complement the high-performance drivetrain, as well as delivering distinguishing exterior and interior appointments. The elements create a sophisticated, exciting package that underscores Pontiac ’s commitment to a lineup of balanced performance vehicles.Although just a concept, the G6 GXP will be used to gauge opinions about the viability of a high-performance version of the new G6. Similar clinic testing with the Bonneville GXP and Grand Prix GXP concepts resulted in green lights for production. The Bonneville GXP now accounts for about 30 percent of all Bonneville sales and the Grand Prix GXP is scheduled to start production in 2005.The G6 GXP concept’s elements include:3.6-liter HO V-6 with 275 horsepowerF40 six-speed manual transmissionGM Performance Parts “cat-back” exhaust with bright tipsGXP-specific front and rear fascias, rocker moldingsGXP-signature chromed grille trimBilstein shocksChromed production wheels and performance tiresThe G6 GXP show vehicle is instantly identified by its aggressive appearance, with new front and rear fascias that give the vehicle a “tightly wrapped” look. The vehicle’s performance appearance is accented by a lowered ride height, which settles the G6 GXP body over a set of chromed 18-inch wheels and performance tires.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
