Pontiac had a great run, but it’s no longer around. The G8 featured a naturally aspirated V-8 engine, rear-wheel drive, and a six-speed manual transmission. Launched during the financial crisis with low sales, Pontiac’s last sports sedan has become more collectible. Australia has contributed many great things to the auto business, like the Subaru Outback and Mark Webber. Australian engineers also created rack-and-pinion steering, a prototype infant seat, and an onboard race camera. Hey guys, good job. Could we buy one of those beautiful Holden Commodores with V-8 engines? You can do it! In other words, this 2009 G8 GXP Pontiac, which was made in Australia, is for sale on Bring a Trailer, a website owned by Hearst Autos that is similar to Invoice Pricing. The Nürburgring was used to tune the frame, and it has a 6.2-liter V-8 engine that makes 415 horsepower. This is the ultimate Barbie. That is wonderful. The fact that it was ordered without a sunroof makes this car very rare. It has 40,000 miles on it. The G8 GXP registration shows that this version was only ordered on 22 of the 1829 GXPs that were made. Even though it wasn’t as heavy as other G8 GXPs, this car would have been the fastest Pontiac ever made. If the economy hadn’t been so bad in 2009, this super-sedan made by Holden might have given Pontiac a little more time to stay in business. If a Chevrolet badge was on a Holden Ute, would people in the US have thought it was a new El Camino? Just thinking about what we might have missed makes you cry, like a sad Bluey scene. Don’t miss out on one of the best V-8 cars ever made. That’s the only thing that worries you. All GXPs had a better sports suspension with stiffer springs and dampers, as well as a thicker back anti-roll bar. Even though the road is broken, this big ‘roo rides smoothly. The G8’s LS2 V-8 engine can speed it through the quarter-mile in as little as 13 seconds. Brembo brakes on 19-inch wheels will stop it. There’s a lot of leather, well-bolstered seats, and an 11-speaker sound system for relaxing driving. In general, it sounds as good as the idea of taking a vacation to the Gold Coast in Queensland during these cold and wet months back home. While they were new, GM never sold nearly as many of these G8s as they had planned, making them a secret gem. When Holden joined Pontiac, it had been closed for five years, since 2010. To put it simply, GM no longer makes cars like the G8 GXP, a full-size sedan with a Corvette engine. December 26 is the last day to bid.
