On the one hand, there's the world as you've always known it, full of deadlines, budgets, obligations, commitments and responsibilities. And on the other, there's the surprisingly affordable Pontiac Solstice. Solstice is what you might call a freedom machine. It's all about you. Your style. Your destination. Your route. Your pace. And for 2007, all this freedom is available in two distinct forms. With its 177 hp ECOTEC engine and highly responsive chassis, the original Solstice is all about pure driving pleasure. There's also a new Solstice GXP, powered by a turbocharged version of the ECOTEC engine that bumps output all the way up to 260 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Whichever one you choose, you're in for a great ride. Solstice. Experience what it means to feel free.
Open-Air Beauty
With Solstice's well-designed manual convertible roof, the transition from top-up to top-down is quick and virtually effortless. And Solstice includes a standard rear-hinged deck-lid that conceals the roof when it's down to preserve the car's stunning good looks.
Performance Under Pressure
The turbocharged 2.0 litre ECOTEC powerplant tucked under the hood of Solstice GXP uses some of today's most advanced engine technologies to extract tremendous power and torque from an engine of modest dimensions. Variable valve timing (VVT), electronic throttle control and direct injection technology are all part of the package.
Precision-Engineered Transmissions
The short-throw shifter for Solstice’s standard Aisin five-speed manual transmission delivers smooth, precise gear changes. Of course, there’s also an available electronically controlled five-speed automatic gearbox for those who prefer to let technology do their shifting for them.
Addictive Handling
With near-perfect front/rear weight distribution, a low centre of gravity, a finely tuned fully independent suspension and standard 18” wheels, the responsiveness and agility of Solstice's handling will leave you wanting more. Solstice GXP adds a higher level of suspension tuning and a StabiliTrak™ vehicle stability enhancement system for even more control.
