“The Solstice GXP pushes
the production Solstice to the next level with a 47-percent boost in
horsepower, and demonstrates how GM is working on all fronts to build and
sell exciting products for diverse audiences,” said Mark LaNeve, General
Motors North America vice president of Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
Solstice GXP features GM’s
all-new Ecotec 2.0-liter turbo, the most powerful production engine in the
Ecotec family.* This turbo with direct injection kicks a V-6’s worth of
power out of a four-cylinder engine, an estimated 260 horsepower (194 kw)
and 260 lb.-ft. (353 Nm) of torque.*
The performance roadster
will feature GM’s StabiliTrak four-channel electronic stability control
system.
It will debut in the summer
and is expected to be priced about $4,000 to $5,000 above the base Solstice.
Solstice GXP will be on
display with the Solstice, which features a powerful Ecotec 2.4L engine
rated at 177 horsepower (132 kw) and is matched to a close-ratio five-speed
manual transmission. The driver-oriented cockpit interior features
motorcycle-inspired instruments.
