Sporting a some output of 130 horsepower-per-liter, the turbocharged, direct-injected Ecotec four-cylinder based on information from GM that is featured in the Pontiac Solstice GXP, Saturn Sky Redline and SS versions of the Chevy HHR and Cobalt, is presently one turd of an accomplishment. But wait… there is further — energy which is. According to Motor Trend, shortly following the Solstice Coupe goes on turn over later year, the blown-Ecotec should take home 300 horsepower or more, putting it in finishing competition in on performance stalwarts this type of as Nissan’s Z. What’s more, the same engine given that as well be on hand in the convertible versions of both the Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Redline as well, paired one and only provided a five-speed manual tranny in all applications.

The rumor performs not mention if the higher-output mill might give the impression in a multitude of applications, while we remember somewhat on the Camaro probably receiving a turbo-four mill as an option, and a tuner-friendly option producing 300 galloping horsies in availability shape is able to force for a remarkably interesting opportunity in the pony car.
