The first Solstice Coupe was launched back in 2002. Back then it was a simple Concept, but as many other concepts it told something about the future. And after seven years it will become reality. Pontiac will build the fastback coupe version on the same "Kappa" platform as the Roadster version, one of the best selling models of the company. Compared to the current Solstice, the fastback coupe will be powered by a turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter direct-injection four-cylinder engine used in the Roadster version. The maximum output will be around 265 hp. A V8 version will also be used, probably for the GXP version (also available for the coupe version). We expect a maximum output of 300 hp. The transmission will remain the same as in the Roadster version.  2009 Pontiac Solstice Coupe The 0 to 60 mph sprint will be made in around 5.5 seconds and the top speed will be next to 150 mph. When Pontiac launched the Coupe Concept in 2002 they said that if the car will ever go into production it will follow exactly the same design cues as the concept. If will be to believe this, then we have a pretty good picture of how the 2009 Solstice will look like. But if were to consider that there is a seven years difference between the Concept and the production version, we are more than sure that the car will evolve in terms of design. Is for sure that the Coupe version will have a familiar look with the Roadster version, but we expect a few of the elements used in the G8 to also be used for the Coupe Solstice: dual-port grille, fog lamps, bold wheels and a confident, wheels-at-the-corners stance. It will also feature fenders that flare over the wheels, projector-beam headlamps housed in crystal-clear lenses, jewel-like taillamps.  Pontiac Solstice Coupe Concept Only two years after the Solstice Coupe will be launched, probably after the company will test the market, they will launch a redesigned version, probably a more aggressive and modern one.
4 comments: Pontiac Solstice Coupe This Pontiac version is very amazing; the orange color is so attractive and the concept of design from the exterior to the interior is much perfect, even the engine was absolutely good,but needs to more improve.
 OTTOMAN (6682) - Posted on 03.8.2008 I LIKE THE IDEA OF BOTH. THERE IS A PLACE FOR THE V-8 AND FOUR CYL.
 No, no, no Pontiac! Do NOT put a V engine in that car! The secret to the MX-5’s success is its simplicity and its keeping to the spiritual recipe for small sports car. Sir Collin Chapman (Lotus) would have done it no other way. A 4-cylinder is the ONLY way to go with these kinds of cars.
