Hurst announces Pontiac H.O. G8 and G6

Hurst announces Pontiac H.O. G8 and G6

The Pontiac brand may be on its way out the door, but that doesn't mean it can't have one last fling with a renowned tuner. Hurst Performance Vehicles, the legendary shifter company that most recently has made waves with its Hemi Challenger, announced its new H.O. program for the Pontiac G6 and G8. Few details have been released regarding the performance upgrades of the cars, but each will feature Hurst's signature black/gold or white/gold paint scheme, forged alloy Hurst wheels, an exclusive Hurst shifter, supercharged engine, suspension upgrades, and a newly trimmed interior.

To help with the development of the car, Hurst also brought on performance icon "Doc" Watson, who developed such vehicles as the Hurst Hemi-Under-Glass and the 1972 Pontiac SSJ. Only 52 Hurst H.O. Pontiacs will be built along with ten G6 convertibles used as parade and special event vehicles. More details regarding the performance upgrades will be announced on August 1st, but until then all the available information can be found in the press release after the jump

Re: Hurst announces Pontiac H.O. G8 and G6

I dig the Hurst Challenger better than the Hurst Pontiacs..

JMO and I'm sure they are great cars.

Re: Hurst announces Pontiac H.O. G8 and G6

If the H stands for Hurst, what the heck does the O stand for on these Pontiacs?

I guess it must be different since it's an H.O. and not an H/O.

Just like Olds, Pontiac is done aswell.

Maybe it is the "Hurst Name"

No wait, it maybe the years of "Not Listening" to the end user.
