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 StabiliTrakTM vehicle stability enhancement system for even more control. |
| The Tunes You Love – Commercial-Free |
 |
With Solstice's XM Satellite Radio**, you may never listen to advertising again. XM offers the deepest playlist in the industry, all available from coast to coast in digital quality sound. And every music channel is 100% commercial-free. Solstice GXP comes standard with an XM Satellite Radio receiver and three free trial months of service. XM Satellite Radio is also available on Solstice GXP. |
| Solstice Model Overview |
For 2007, Pontiac's stunning 2-seat roadster is available in 2 distinct models. Solstice is designed to put you in touch with what driving is all about. Solstice GXP ups the ante with a host of premium performance features. |
| Pontiac Solstice |
 |
In a world where it seems like every vehicle calls itself a "sports" machine, Solstice is the real deal: a 2-seat roadster with rear-wheel drive, a driver-focused cockpit and a folding roof that lets you connect directly with the elements. The standard drivetrain consists of a 177 hp ECOTEC engine with variable valve timing (VVT) and a short-throw Aisin 5-speed manual gearbox that offers complete control. For those who prefer not to do their own shifting, there's an available 5-speed automatic transmission. Rack-and-pinion steering and a fully independent suspension make for agile, responsive handling, and power 4-wheel disc brakes deliver sure, controlled stops. And Solstice´s surprisingly affordable price brings all this driving joy within reach. |
| Pontiac Solstice GXP |
 |
Capable of accelerating from zero to 96 km/h (60 mph) in under 5.5 seconds, the new Solstice GXP takes the Solstice concept to thrilling extremes. At 260 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, its turbocharged 2.0L engine produces more power per litre of displacement than any powerplant in General Motors history. Keeping all that muscle firmly under control are a host of chassis upgrades, including four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, a sport suspension and a StabiliTrakTM vehicle stability enhancement system. Solstice GXP has a powerful sense of style, too, with unique front and rear styling and gleaming dual-exhaust outlets. |
