(Updated with gallery) Pontiac has announced two new GXP models for the 2008 model year. Both the G6 and Torrent will be recipients of new performance related upgrades.
Originally shown as a concept car last year, the new 2008 G6 GXP will be available as both a sedan and a coupe. The G6 GXP will feature a new 3.6L DOHC V-6 engine that produces 252 horsepower backed by a Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission. Other features of the 2008 G6 GXP will include performance-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels, and GXP-unique exterior and interior details.
The 2008 Torrent GXP sports a slightly more powerful 3.6L DOHC V-6 engine, which produces 263 horsepower. The enhanced engine brings the performance-oriented SUV to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. Much like the G6 GXP, the Torrent GXP will feature lowered suspension, 18-inch wheels, and unique exterior details. Both AWD and FWD versions of the Torrent GXP will be made available.
