PONTIAC
SOLSTICE
 
Freedom
Rider
Something wonderful happens when you ease into Solstice's
form-fitting driver's seat, drop the top, then drop the
hammer. The workaday world and all its associated trials
and tribulations seem to melt away. It's just you and the
road, intimately connected by one of the purest sports cars
on the planet. Available in your choice of two performance
levels, which you might think of as "Excellent!"
– that's the original 173 hp Solstice – and "Whoa!"
– that's the turbocharged 260 hp Solstice GXP –
Solstice is all about style, responsiveness and sheer exhilaration.
There's also a very cool new Coupe GXP with a removable
hard top** for the coupe enthusiasts out there, so there's
now a Solstice for every sports car fan. Solstice. Get in,
and feel free.
 And
Now, A Whole New Take On Driving Freedom
The new-for-2009 Solstice Coupe** delivers awesome fastback
style, open-air fun and all-season versatility, all in one
car. Roof off, you enjoy a true topless driving experience.
Roof on, Solstice Coupe GXP has the dramatic coupe profile
of a classic, low-slung GT car, along with a highly usable
cargo area under the opening rear liftglass. It's a whole
new way to break free.
 Performance
So Hot, It's Rated X
Solstice GXP takes the Solstice concept to thrilling extremes.
With a peak output of 260 hp, its turbocharged 2.0L engine
produces more power per litre of displacement than any powerplant
in General Motors history. Think zero to 96 km/h in under
5.5 seconds.
 Give
It The Gears
Running up the gears is a blast with Solstice's standard
short-throw 5-speed manual transmission. If you prefer,
Solstice and Solstice GXP also offer the convenience of
a smooth-shifting electronically controlled 5-speed automatic
gearbox.
 Made
You Look
Let's face it, Solstice is one of the most beautiful, most
eye-catching cars on the road. The lines are clean and taut,
and the stance – accented by standard 18" aluminum
wheels – is both balanced and powerful.
 Control
Is Engineered Right In
Solstice's standard StabiliTrak TM electronic stability
control system significantly reduces your risk of being
involved in a single-vehicle crash. † Any time StabiliTrak
detects that a lateral skid is underway, it steps in automatically,
to help you bring the car back under control.
