Saturn SKY Concept Page

Rev 2 Saturn SKY concept

Update: The SKY is on the Chicago auto show floor.

Looks better on the floor than the CGI's did. That front grille could really use some work though. Also, a black leather interior would be nice too.

(The pictures bellow were accidently released by Saturn corp about a week before the chicago auto show)

For those who don't know, the Saturn SKY is a future roadster design that has gone through several changes over the past 6 months. The 2.2L ecotec is supercharged to 180hp and 190 foot-pounds of torque. The car also features a 5 speed manual transmission, as well as a load of very bizzare (but interesting) features. Expect to see white LED headlights, 2 "hidden" backseats, active matrix center mounted console, and console buttons with active matrix mini-displays.

This car should be pretty quick. I expect the 0-60 times to be at least in the 6 second range, taking in consideration Saturn's light plastic body and past performance characteristics.

This vehicle design may debut at the upcoming Chicago auto show.
