We, along with just about every other gearhead, are especially looking forward to the six-speed stick and clutch pedal with which the 6.2-liter LS3 V8 making 402 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque will be paired. Of course, the rest of the car needs to be up to snuff too, so we are happy to take a gander at these spy photos of a pre-production prototype in Australia that indicate the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958548/">nineteen-inch GXP-specific wheels</a> and big Brembo disc brakes are present and accounted for. A slightly revised front fascia with a lower splitter combine with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958542/">rear diffuser</a> to further signify that this is the high-zoot version of Pontiac's sport sedan.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/">Spy Shots: Pre-Production Pontiac G8 GXP</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958544/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/00_preprog8gxp_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958547/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/01_preprog8gxp_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958546/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/02_preprog8gxp_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958545/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/03_preprog8gxp_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp/958542/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/04_preprog8gxp_thumbnail. jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=103639"> LS1.com.au</a> via <a href="http://www.g8nation.com/2008/08/pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp-spy-shots/">G8 Nation</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://www.g8nation.com/2008/08/pre-production-pontiac-g8-gxp-spy-shots/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/04/pre-pro-pontiac-g8-gxp-spotted-in-australia/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1274668/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/04/pre-pro-pontiac-g8-gxp-spotted-in-australia/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
