The Pontiac Solstice, produced from 2005 to 2010, marked Pontiac's return to the two-seater sports car market after the Fiero's discontinuation in 1988, blending striking design with accessible performance.
Initially powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4L inline-4 engine producing 177 hp and 166 lb-ft of torque, the Solstice lineup expanded in 2007 with the introduction of the GXP trim.
The GXP featured a 2.0L turbocharged ECOTEC engine delivering 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production Pontiac ever at the time.
Both engines were paired with a 5-speed manual or optional automatic transmission, with rear-wheel drive standard across all models.
