Pontiac Solstice GXP - Official Pics and Specs

http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=24769

Some excerpts (emphasis mine):

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.

Highlights of the Ecotec 2.0-liter Turbo engine include:

* Steel crankshaft
* Forged connecting rods
* Forged oil-galley pistons
* Jet-spray piston cooling
* 9.2:1 compression ratio
* Aluminum cylinder head with sodium-filled exhaust valves
* High-pressure engine-driven fuel pump
* Variable pressure fuel rail
* Dual-scroll turbocharger


Looking pretty sweet for ~25k'ish. The only other GM car I wouldn't mind owning (C6 is a given of course ).
