50 CENT THROWS HIS HAND IN DESIGNING AUTOMOBILES?; RAPPER CREATES HIS OWN PONTIAC G8.


Rapper Curtis Jackson isn't quite as flamboyant as some of his musical contemporaries. In a unique collaboration with Pontiac, the hip-hop superstar better known as 50 Cent shows remarkable restraint in creating a special edition of the soon-to-be-released G8 sedan as part of the company's promotion for the model. The 50 Cent G8 was created in partnership with Will Castro's New York-based Unique Autosports and features a 7.0-liter LSX 427 V8 under the hood.

The special edition also includes a custom 800-watt JBL audio system, which bundles amplifiers, tuner, speakers and subwoofer, low-profile Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires on 22-inch NC Forged chrome deep-dish wheels, a Borla stainless-steel exhaust system and a Spies Hecker torch-red exterior paint job accented with dark-tinted glass and taillamps.

The only real hint of excess is found inside, where the black leather seats have been retrimmed with perforated red-leather inserts and a 50 Cent/Unique Autosports logo embroidered into the headrests.
