Bob Lutz's affordable-roadster statement, the Solstice concept was designed from scratch in under four months and drew audible gasps at Detroit. It used a supercharged 2.2L Ecotec four making 240 hp with a Corvette-sourced Borg-Warner 6-speed manual, its aluminum body over a Roush chassis. The concept led directly to the 2006 production Solstice.
