GM CONCEPT CAR FROM THE GM COLLECTION MUSEUM
G8 AWD LS1 THE ONLY ALL WHEEL DRIVE GM V8 CAR EVER BUILT that the public can own What do you get when you add a 350 horsepower 5.7 litre V8, Versatrak all-wheel-drive, and Goodyear 255/40ZR-19 inch tires to a Pontiac Grand Prix? – the Grand Prix G8, a high-performance mid-sized sedan with superb handling and traction. With the 350 horsepower LS1 Corvette engine, the Grand Prix G8 does 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. It features the Versatrak on-demand all-wheel-drive system, custom-designed 19 inch X 9.5 inch wheels, 3 inch exhaust pipes and dual exhausts, a suspension lowered by one inch, and larger rotors on all four discs. The aggressive exterior offers ‘boisterous’ wheel flares, hood scoops, a GTO style spoiler and hood tachometer gauge. The LS1 engine gives the Grand Prix G8 instant torque, but there’s little wheelspin as the Verstrak sends power to the rear wheels as the front wheels slip. The stiffer suspension and low profile tires make for a stiff ride, but handling is superb, and the cornering limits are extremely high. The Versatrak system provides greater stability when cornering in the wet, but the Grand Prix G8 is too low and the tires are too wide to be of any use in winter or off-road conditions. This is strictly a performance sedan that could rival any high-performance European sedan. very unique options heads up display,heated and leather power seat,performance shift transmission,tilt wheel with radio controls,am/fm premium sound system,all power options windows , locks and mirrors.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
