AceShowbiz - 50 Cent is attempting another career reinvention just yet. Already has a very successful rapping career and has established himself in a wide variety of fields outside of his career in the music industry, it indeed is his first foray into the automotive world. Word has it that 50 Cent has teamed up with high-profile car maker Pontiac to produce his own customized G8 sedan.
The unique G8 reportedly is being manufactured by Australian automaker Holden and will go on sale in the United States by 2008. The company plans to ship 30,000 to the US each year.
"Partnering with Pontiac has given me the opportunity to create something truly unique, a customized performance vehicle I am really proud of," 50 Cent said of his new business venture. "The G8 is like none other and it pushes the boundaries of what people think a car has to be."
The new G8 is said to be totally customized, with custom paint and exterior appointments, a re-trimmed interior outfitted with an audio system that shakes the ground, 22 inch rims, a customized exhaust system, leather interior, an 800 watt system, low-profile Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires and other features.
A prototype of the customized Pontiac G8, which was designed with Will Castro from Unique Autosports, has been unveiled at the 2007 Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, an automotive trade products event, Tuesday October 30th.
"The most interesting aspect of the project is what we didn't do to the exterior," Castro said on the vehicle. "We didn't add a body kit, spoilers or lower the car. The G8 has the right stance and appearance, so we only accented the original form with details that made it unique."
Below are some pictures of Fiddy posing with his own customized G8 sedan at the SEMA.
