Ponitac Solstice Coupe concept *PICS*

I must say, this car and the Saturn Sky are really starting to grow on me. Especially after driving a turbo Solstice in Toronto over the summer, I was fairly impressed. These cars will be in the back of my mind when looking to start a new project when I’m done with school.

If they make a Sky coupe… sex.

For this year, GM’s line of performance parts will be shown on the Solstice in coupe form for the first time when the Solstice GXP Coupe Concept is officially unveiled next week in Las Vegas. This customized Solstice shows off GM Performance Parts’ Stage 2 performance kit , intake kit, and cat-back exhaust system that boosts horsepower from 260 to 290. The car also features a sportier suspension system, exterior graphics kit, customized leather-trimmed seats, race-style pedal covers, and an iPod interface.

looks much much better than the ragtop

Like the direction they went with the front end too, the older Solstices were hideous

second pic is definitely a ridiculous photoshop.

The mirrors and roof and a whole bunch of other “parts” are from an exige.

Well, these cars in turbo and N/A form can just kill it at autocross.

So if you like the way they look and have any inkling to do some easy competitive racing, this car would certainly fit the bill

Yeah, only twice the cost of the solstice =P

I wasn’t comparing the performance of the exige to anything.

Just posting the picture because that’s the car that the photoshop of the sky borrowed parts from…

Well then aren’t you the coolest :stuck_out_tongue:

other than the else/early viper roofline :barf: … it looks pretty nice

i like the dickmobile

13

Certainly. I loved the way these things handle in stock form, I’d love to put a decent set up on it and go nuts with auto-x.

14

Turbo model, you could win with just tires :smiley:

15

Nice, but I’d have an exige

Old news?

Also they are killing the sky and solstice in a couple years.

“The Pontiac Solstice in both coupe and convertible forms is also unlikely to see a second generation. Unfortunately, the Solstice, Saturn Sky and their Opel spin-off don’t generate enough sales to support another go-round”
