The 2010 HURST/Pontiac H.O. G8 is strictly limited to 52 examples, which is intended to be a modern-day version of George Hurst`s "Executive Hot Rod". Each of the 52 cars will be hand-built and numbered to reflect their limited-edition status. These cars will feature Hurst`s iconic white/gold and black/gold colors along with forged alloy Hurst wheels, an exclusive Hurst shifter, supercharged engine, suspension mods and a specially trimmed interior.
The Hurst G6 convertibles are designed to commemorate Hurst director emeritus Doc Watson's pace cars. Ten HURST/Pontiac G6 convertibles will be used as parade vehicles and special-event cars.
"Doc started all of this with George back in 1960 with Hurst Performance Research. His Hurst H.O. Pontiacs have stormed drag strips and main streets across the country for 50 years," said Hurst Chairman, Nate Shelton. "There could not be a better time to honor Doc and the legendary Pontiac marque."
Watson`s contribution to the American performance landscape is unrivaled. During a 50-year career in the development, manufacturing and marketing of special vehicles, Watson brought to life more than 80 performance cars and racing vehicles, including the original Hurst Oldsmobile, the Hemi-Under-Glass and the 1972 Hurst/Pontiac SSJ. These new HURST/Pontiac`s are yet another chapter in his illustrious career.
"If we combine the wisdom earned through the heritage of past Hurst vehicles with the vision of globally beneficial vehicles, we will not be living through the death of the Muscle Car," Watson explained. "Rather, we will see the birth of exciting, passion-filled performance vehicles – vehicles that will give new meaning to lean, mean, and environmentally clean machines. It`s a `new machine age,` and Hurst will be first once again."
The Hurst Pontiacs will be available for ordering starting August 1 at the Hurst Performance website.
