2008 Pontiac Solstice

Leave The Grind Behind

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.

Solstice GXP

Where Beauty Meets The Beast

Up for a challenge? Go for a spin in Solstice GXP and find out if your pulse can keep up. Sounds easy but it won't be - not with a turbocharged 2.0L engine capable of 260 hp purring under the hood. And if that's not enough, unique front and rear styling and gleaming dual exhaust outlets make the Solstice GXP a car that doesn't just turn heads, it also is capable of giving them whiplash.

The Power To Adjust Your Attitude

Put your right foot down in the 173 hp Solstice or the 260 hp Solstice GXP and you'll leave your cares behind in a hurry. They're also surprisingly stingy on fuel, thanks to the advanced technology of the ECOTEC engine family.

Precision Shifting

Solstice's standard Aisin five-speed manual transmission features a short-throw shifter with such a smooth, positive action, you'll find yourself changing gears for the pure pleasure of it. If you prefer to let technology do your shifting for you, there's also an available electronically controlled five-speed automatic gearbox.

Breathtaking Style

Top up or top down, Solstice's distinctive styling always draws a crowd. The sheet metal is both graceful and muscular, and the premium details - like gleaming chrome door handles and 18 in. aluminum wheels - reward closer inspection.

An Extra Measure of Control

StabiliTrak™ helps keep your Solstice firmly under control by eliminating most lateral skids before you even know they've begun. It's standard on Solstice GXP and available on Solstice, as is an anti-lock braking system. For confident stopping, every Solstice features 4-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment.
