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 Targa top** for the coupe enthusiasts out there, so there's now a Solstice for every sports car fan. Solstice. Get in, and feel 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. There's even a standard hard tonneau cover for an uncluttered top-down look.

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.

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 Targa 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.
