The 2010 Pontiac G8 ST is headed to dealerships late next year, and the G8 ST concept for SEMA is adorned with several parts that will likely be offered for the car by GM Accessories. The SEMA ST has the same 361-hp 6.0L V-8 of the production car mated to a six-speed automatic.
Here are highlights of the G8 ST concept from Pontiac:
Liquid Hot exterior color with enhanced clear coat
Lowered ride height
Custom 20-inch wheels
Leather-trimmed seats with red inserts
G8 GXP steering wheel with red inserts
G8 GXP shift knob with red inserts
Custom interior trim kit (proposed GM Accessories part)

Solstice GXP Coupe concept
The hardtop version of the Pontiac Solstice is due next year, and the GXP Coupe for SEMA is equipped with GM Performance Parts' Stage 2 performance kit and performance air intake kit, which boosts the Solstice GXP's 260-hp, turbocharged 2.0L engine to around 290 hp. The car also features a GM Performance Parts cat-back exhaust and a sports suspension kit.
