The sporty Pontiac Solstice, the sibling to Saturn’s sleek Sky roadster, is available in two main versions for 2008: base and GXP.
A 2.4-liter, 177-horsepower inline four-cylinder engine is standard on the 2008 Pontiac Solstice. The high-performance GXP model features a 260-horsepower turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, firmer suspension setting, GXP-specific 18-inch wheels with high-performance tires, GM’s StabiliTrak stability control system, polished stainless steel dual exhaust tips, revised front and rear fascias, and GXP-specific interior trim, including "GXP" embroidered sport buckets. On both models, a five-speed manual transmission is standard, a five-speed automatic optional. Both Solstice models have rear-wheel drive.
