Pontiac Solstice Coupe 2009

This is the new Coupe version of the Pontiac Solstice, which will go on sale in the United States early next year. Based on the original concept presented in 2002 in Detroit, it retains most of its features.

It keeps the same design, stylised roof rails and a functional rear spoiler; side windows and a rear window have been added to access the cargo area, where the removable roof can be stored. To reinforce the roof structure, arches and other aluminium supports have been included, providing greater safety.

The front and rear of the car are the same as the convertible’s, but the design of the lights has had to be changed to harmonise with the new roof.

It uses the same engine as the roadster, a 2.4L four-cylinder Ecotec that delivers 173 CV, while the GXP version is equipped with a powerful 2.0L Ecotec turbodiesel engine that reaches 260 CV.
