Saturn Sky or Opel GT by Steinmetz

The Saturn Sky is the first ever roadster from the Saturn marque of American automaker General Motors. It was released in the first quarter of 2006 as a 2007 model. It uses the Kappa automobile platform shared with the Pontiac Solstice. The Sky concept was shown at the 2005 North American International Auto Show, with the production version following at the 2006 show. It is built at GM's Wilmington, Delaware plant, alongside the Solstice and the Opel GT. The Sky features 18 inch (457 mm) wheels and a 2.4 L Ecotec LE5 I4 engine that produces 177 hp (132 kW) as well as an all-new I-4 2.0L direct injected turbocharged engine that makes 260 hp (194 kW). manual and automatic transmissions are available, both with five gears.
The styling for the Sky, penned by Franz von Holzhausen, is based on the Opel Speedster design. It is available in some European markets as the GT. The Solstice, Sky, and GT are built in Delaware. A re badged version named the Daewoo G2X was unveiled as a concept vehicle for the South Korean market in 2006. The production version will be released in August 2007. The aggressive styling has garnered praise as a welcome departure from the typical, conservative "Saturn look".

The Sky is priced at US$25,595 and the Sky Red Line at US$29,795 with a five-speed manual transmission. A model equipped with a five-speed automatic will cost US$26,175. Opel GT you see in the pictures if tuned by Steinmetz.
