SATURN EXPANDS SKY LINEUP WITH RED LINE PERFORMANCE VARIANT

NEW YORK – Saturn continues its product revitalization with the 2007 Sky Red Line performance roadster, which is debuting at the 2006 New York International Auto Show. The Red Line, available at Saturn retailers this fall, builds on the Sky’s established performance character, offering even more power and sportier driving dynamics combined with a bold design and driver-focused interior.

The Red Line gets a boost in performance from an Ecotec turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, GM’s first direct injection offering in North America. It produces 260 horsepower* (194 kw) at 5300 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque* (353 Nm) at 2500 rpm, making it GM’s highest specific output engine ever at 2.1 horsepower per cubic inch of displacement (130 hp / 97 kw per liter) and the most powerful engine in the Ecotec family.

Gasoline direct injection technology helps the Ecotec engine produce more power while maintaining the lower fuel consumption of a small displacement port-injected engine.

With direct injection, fuel is delivered directly to the combustion chamber to create a more complete burn of the air/fuel mixture. Less fuel is required to produce the equivalent horsepower, especially at normal cruising speeds, of a conventional port-injection combustion system.

Direct injection technology works well with turbocharging and helps deliver a great balance of power and economy.

Other Red Line technical highlights include:
Standard torque-sensing limited-slip differential
Standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control
Performance-tuned suspension
Technical elements also standard on the 2007 Sky roadster include:
Four-wheel independent short/long arm suspension for optimal handling and stability
Coil-over Bilstein monotube shocks for excellent wheel control and road isolation
Hydraulically assisted rack-and-pinion power steering for quick, responsive vehicle control
Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS for excellent stopping performance
Wide track for excellent stability and superior handling
Near 50/50 weight distribution for balanced handling
Structural tunnel design and hydroformed longitudinal frame rails for a stiff body that results in greater vehicle responsiveness and better overall feel
The Red Line also features several unique interior and exterior differences compared to the Sky roadster, including dual exhaust with chrome polished outlets, 18-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels, and specific front lower fascia with large brake cooling vents and black headlamp bezels.

The interior features a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, unique seatback and floormat embroidery, metallic sill plates, stainless steel pedal covers, Red Line-specific gauges and a digital boost gauge included in the Driver Information Center.

The Sky Red Line has numerous safety features, including dual-stage frontal air bags, GM’s Passenger Sensing System, four-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS, side-impact door beams, three-point safety belts with pretentioners and load-limiting retractors, and more.

Ben, Opel va avoir son clone de la Sky... mais habituellement, ça sera l'inverse, les modèles de Saturn seront des clones des modèles Opel.

Impressionant comme spec de moteur. L'injection directe est en train de faire revenir en force le turbo. Tout ca est du a l'essance a faible teneur en souffre rendu obligatoire, avant ca l'injection directe n'etait pas possible.

Si ce 2.0l turbo a injection directe peut produire 260hp, j'imagine qu'il doit etre possible d'avoir dans les environt de 130hp et 130lb-ft avec un 1.0l, imaginez comment la consommation serait basse avec un petit moteur comme cela sauf que serait avec de l'essance super par contre.

En tout cas, je souhaite que ce modèle fonctionne bien pour GM (en terme de ventes et de qualité générale). Ça les forcerait de revoir leur stratégie de fabrication au lieu de faire des voitures usagées.

Je suis trop méchant. Disons plutôt "au lieu de faire des mécaniques usagées pour des plateformes saines".

mais reste que ce genre de voiture a une clientel relativement restreinte . GM ne peu pas espéré en vendre par million quand meme .

Non mais je suis en train d'aimer GM..... Ca et un H3, le parfait duo pour passé une belle journée.

Serieusement, elle est vraiment belle. Rien a envier a personne. Elle me fait meme penser a l'Opel TwinTop que j'ai vu l'année passée dans le L'Annuel de L'auto.
