The Pontiac brand was established in 1926 by General Motors and was so successful in its early years that GM abandoned its similar Oakland division in 1933. Pontiac had begun to flounder by mid-century, though, so John DeLorean was hired to manage the division in 1956. Pontiac flourished under his leadership, cementing its place in muscle car history with the 1964 GTO and following that up with the beastly yet gorgeous 1967 Firebird.

The tale of Pontiac is a tragic one. The sporty and performance-oriented brand was killed off as a result of GM's financial woes, along with Hummer and Saturn. But what would have come of the company if it had survived? GM Design has showcased Pontiac's last-ever concept car, the G8, via its Instagram account. Handsome, striking, and sophisticated, this could have been the successor to the Pontiac G8, a rebadged Holden Commodore that was sold between 2008 and 2009.

What’s more, it’s currently up for grabs online.

Eight cylinders under the hood, plus fat tires on the floor used to be the best equation for a performance car. Nowadays, it's all about twin-turbo four and six-cylinders or hybrids with dual-clutch automatic transmissions. While some dual-clutch cars have paddle shifters, so drivers can pretend they are doing something, it's not the same visceral experience of working a clutch and slapping through the gears.

As GM Authority covered previously, the GM Design team recently published a series of images showing off the Pontiac G8 show car, considered to be the brand’s final concept vehicle before GM axed it outright in 2009.
