Shortly after breaking the story that revealed the 2008 Pontiac G8 production numbers, many readers started asking further questions about production. How many G8s we’re shipped to the mid west? How many were V6 vs V8? How many of each color were produced? The latter was by far the most popular follow up questions, and unfortunately, that’s not a question that we could simply Google and find the answer to.
Last week in the “You Ask Pontiac” section of our Pontiac G8 forum, our good friend Jay (aka MANOFSTEEL69), who you may remember as the owner of a sweeeeeet 2008 ignition orange metallic Pontiac G8 GT, brought up the question again. The rule around here is simple: When MANOFSTEEL69, 99-LS1-SS, or GRRRR8 ask a question, we’ll do our best to find an answer as quickly as we can.
So, without further adieu, here is the official breakdown of 2008 Pontiac G8 production by color:
- Panther Black (80U): 28.8% / 3,469
- Liquid Red (62U): 20.1% / 2,421
- Magnetic Gray (18U): 20.0% / 2,409
- White Hot (11U): 18.4% / 2,216
- Ignition Orange (77U): 7.7% / 927
- Stealth Blue (25U): 4.9% / 590
Adding these numbers up, it comes in just shy of the 12,045 total production totals for the 2008 G8. We’re trying to get some clarity to understand why there’s a slight difference (test mules in non-spec colors?).
