Pontiac Solstice

Had a tough day at work? Solstice can fix that. Just drop the top, fire up the engine and go from zero to a feeling of total freedom in the blink of an eye.

Solstice is a thoroughly modern update on one of the world's best-loved automotive ideas: the 2-seat roadster. And what an update. The technical highlights include a 173 hp ECOTEC engine with variable valve timing (VVT), a finely tuned fully independent suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes and a high-tech sports car body structure.

The high-performance Solstice GXP takes the concept to the extreme, with a style all its own, a 260 hp turbocharged engine under the hood and a Sport suspension. Solstice. It's the freedom machine.
