Summary = 2006 Pontiac G6 Coupe Redefines Performance; Is Further
Enhanced with GM Performance and Aftermarket Parts from Parts Train
Press Release
Body = "The G6 coupe and convertible are uniquely Pontiac vehicles
that are great additions to the family started by the G6 sedan,"
said Jim Bunnell, Pontiac-GMC general manager. "The G6 coupe
delivers outstanding performance and generous interior room, and
the G6 is the only hardtop convertible that has room for four adults."
Both the G6 coupe and G6 convertible will be available in GT and
GTP models. The GTPs will feature a 240 horsepower 3.9L OHV V6 coupled
to a 4-speed automatic with manual shift mode or a 6-speed manual
in the coupe and sedan models - a package that targets driving enthusiasts.
From styling to interior fit, finish and materials quality, interior
room to driving dynamics, the new G6 is a solid step up from the
old model. The coupe and convertible models have all-new body panels
rearward of the A-pillars. Large, wraparound tail lamps on both
models create a distinct look compared to the G6 sedan. LED-lit
Center High Mounted Stop Lamps (CHMSLs) on the coupe and convertible
differ from the traditional incandescent bulbs of the sedan's CHMSL.
The coupe's
CHMSL is located at the base of the rear window, while the convertible's
is a wider lamp incorporated into the decklid, creating a distinct
design element.
Powered by the 3.5L V-6, GT models produce 200 horsepower (149 kw)
at 4800 rpm with 220 lb.-ft. of torque (302 Nm) at 4400 rpm. The
3500 engine is backed by the Hydra-Matic 4T45-E electronically controlled
four-speed automatic transmission with
manual shift mode. The GTP models are powered by an all-new 3.9L
HO V-6, which is rated at 240
horsepower (179 kw) at 5900 rpm with 245 lb.-ft. of torque (339
Nm) at 2800 rpm. It is paired in the standard package with the Hydra-Matic
4T65-E with manual shift mode. It also is available with a six-speed
manual transmission in the G6 coupe.
The GTs use the 4T45-E Hydra-Matic, and the GTPs use the 4T65-E
Hydra-Matic, both with a manual shift mode rendered superfluous
with only four forward gears For all of your GM needs you can browse
