Pontiac Solstice SD-290 single-seat racer concept: Teasing us at SEMA 2007
By: Peter Chubb | October 30, 2007
If you are lucky enough to visit SEMA 2007, then you need to take a walk over to the Pontiac stand where they are showing off the Solstice SD-290 single-seat racer to the public. This very unique concept has all the latest technology that you would expect from a car for today, but the design will evoke the racing cars of yesterday.
The standard Solstice GXP from Pontiac is a beautiful vehicle, but this SD-290 is in a different league and with its weight loss with not having a lid this concept should be much faster. Do not worry if it does rain as a tonneau cover will be at hand for the driver to use. Autoblog do tell us that the engine that Pontiac plan to use is the 2.0L direct-inject turbo which helps to deliver 290 horsepower, add to that Club Sport Z0K suspension package, 19-inch forged wheels and some other performance mods you are in for the drive of your life.
