General Motors is already working on a supercharged version that will go on sale in UK starting next month.
The supercharged engine will boost the output of the 6.0 liter V8’s engine from 412 hp in the standard version to a very nice 540 hp. With this power, the new version will make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in about 4 secs flat.
Brits will have to pay 6995 pounds for the kit (some one can do the math in US currency), next to the price of a VXR8. There are no info if GM will offer the same option for the US Pontiac G8, but as of now this is indeed promising. I'll keep ya posted.
>>>For Sale? Clicky!<<<

I love that car, it's awesome. But seriously 540hp is getting a little rediculous

over $14, 000 USD for a supercharger kit?
That's a little excessive.
Nice car though, but i think I would go turbo for less than 1/2 the price.

You're forgetting one major thing. Not only are you paying for the s/c kit, but you are paying for the tune on it, better suspension or steering (being that it has to handle the power), probably different rims/appearence, and probably a sunroof or something, lol
They also do a lot more things to the "top" versions of the car. I wouldn't imagine this to be much different, but if it is, thats ridiculous.
The pic on the first post isn't working.
From the vid it looks and sounds amazing.
