Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe will produce 300 horsepower

It seems that the Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe will be aiming their sites at cars such as the 2010 Nissan 370Z as the new car will be able to produce 300 horsepower plus. This is thanks to the use of a direct-injected Ecotec four-cylinder engine from General Motors, which has a turbo mounted on as well.

This engine will might also be used in the Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Redline convertibles. However I have to stress that it is just a rumor at this stage, but what a nice prospect ah. Please do not get exited just yet, remember not so long ago when it was rumored that the Pontiac Solstice was to get a all-wheel-drive or a V6 version and GM told us that they have no plans to do this.
