The original Solstice coupe concept WARREN, MI - A prototype Solstice with a folding hardtop has been spotted at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan. This shouldn't come as a surprise since the original Solstice concept by former Pontiac designer (and now design director at Mazda North America) Franz Von Holzhausen was a coupe. The Solstices racing in SCCA Showroom Stock B also run with a removable hardtop first seen on the Weekend Club Racer concept exhibited at the '05 SEMA show, as does Rhys Millen's Formula Drift Solstice, so Pontiac clearly is interested in those who would rather not have a softtop.
Our souce says that the prototype looked like it was still under development. The styling follows the general lines of the original coupe concept, with a fastback roofline that blends into the tail of the Solstice. No public information on the hardtop Solstice has been released by Pontiac yet.
