Caption: An artist's rendering of the 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster released by General Motors Monday, November 29, 2004. The Saturn Sky Roadster will be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. The rear wheel drive two-seater is the first of three new Saturn vehicle introductions that will double the brand's portfolio by the end of 2006. The Sky will be built at GM's Wilmington, Delaware assembly plant and arrive at Saturn dealerships in early 2006.



Detroit - Saturn today released the first visual rendering of its upcoming sports roadster and announced that the two-seater will carry the name Sky.

The rear-wheel drive Sky will showcase new design cues that will appear across Saturn’s future products as the brand renews and extends its portfolio over the next 24 months

The Sky is scheduled for public debut in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show in January. It will arrive at Saturn retailers in early 2006.

“The new form vocabulary of Saturn has been influenced by GM’s design talent from around the globe,” said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Design. “Taut, controlled lines combine with harmonious and fluid surfacing to create a technical and dynamic feel.” The Sky will be built at GM’s Wilmington, Del., assembly plant. It borrows its name from a Saturn concept that was shown in 2002, but there is no design link between the two vehicles.

Kevin, move this to Fast and Furious. This isn't a mainstream car.

Will the Sky be based on the Kappa platform? I like it, by the way.

I guess that's true too.. I'd noticed some XLR resemblance, but I hadn't thought of the Crossfire yet... it does have some similar aspects.

You have to be a member to view them. Just post the enormous pics in a separate thread, and warn 56K'ers.
