Hurst G8
Hurst Performance Vehicles is looking to send the Pontiac brand out with a bang as it prepares to launch a high output version of the G8 sedan. In collaboration with automotive legend “Doc” Watson, Hurst will build 52 G8 models complete with superchargers, suspension modifications, custom interior, wheels, a Hurst shifter and, of course, the company’s iconic white/gold and black/gold colors.

Watch your ass! I would KILL for the WHITE one in the picture  . Now that is going to worth something in the future as only 52 are building built. The trouble with these models is that they are purchased by people with a good deal of BL$NG, and most will never leave a garage. I do wish I could afford to buy TWO, one to keep under covers (future investment) and the other to drive the s**t of out it and enjoy it the way it was meant to be. DREAMS!!!

I'm diggin the white/gold however the black/gold really would go well with the TA. I love the body of the car but I would have hoped they do a mild revision to the front bumper and rear to give it just a little more than a basic stock GT or even a GXP.

i think the striping should be full length and only be interrupted by the grills and wind shields

Having that name on the car is an insult to injury
