As compared to the conventional Saturn auto concept, Saturn Sky is a car that surely brings diversity and a touch of surprise in the General Motors collections. Saturn Sky represents a very new brand in the Saturn group, even if it has common features with Pontiac Solstice and Opel GT: this is the case with the Kappa automobile platform that is present with all the three GM designs.
Saturn Sky comes with 18 inch wheels and two engine options: you can go for the 177 horsepower Ecotec LE5 engine or the turbocharged one that creates no less than 260 horsepower. Both automatic and manual transmissions are available including five speeds, with such features interfering with the cost of the car. The model designed for the Red Line is definitely more expensive reaching up to around $30,000; yet in case you go for the five speed automatic you could be saving $5,000.
What does the Red Line bring new in the Saturn Sky model? There is a superior suspension over the average quality present with the basic Saturn Sky model, plus, the stability control is also upgraded. Dual exhausts, unique leather design in the interior with special tachometer and digital control panel are just a few other characteristics of the Saturn Sky Red Line variant sold since the end of 2006. For customers who’d like to make changes and enhance one element or another, dealers have add-on offers, and the most common example here is the suspension upgrade.
Conversions of the Saturn Sky into more powerful vehicles is well accomplished by Mallet Cars, Ohio who have registered exceptional results with the adjustment of the car with a V8 engine. Thus the resulting horsepower is higher than 400 with the turbocharged models going way beyond 750 horsepower. The torque or the brakes are other Saturn Sky parts that can undergo various configurations either custom-made or not.
Furthermore, Saturn Sky is also subject to electric conversions, or at least efforts are being made in that direction by teams interested in making it more price convenient as an autonomous vehicle. No fuel consume, but the same great feeling a sports car gives? That really sounds awesome!. It goes without saying that a V8 Saturn Sky engine has a huge gas consume, which is definitely an alarm bell for environmentalists. Given the increasing need to use the planet resources responsibly, time may come when fuel-powered engines become an extinct car production segment.
