Saturn Sky comes with 18 inch wheels and two engine options: you can go for the 177 horsepower Ecotec LE5 engine or the turbocharged one that produces no less than 260 horsepower. Both automatic and manual transmissions are available including five speeds, with such features interfering with the cost of the car. The model produced in the Red Line is surely more expensive reaching up to around $30,000; yet the five speed automatic variant is almost $5,000 cheaper.

What is there additional in the Red Line Saturn Sky? There is a superior suspension over the standard quality provided by the basic Saturn Sky model, plus, the stability control is also upgraded. Dual exhausts, unique leather design in the interior with special tachometer and digital control panel are just a few other features of the Saturn Sky luxury variant available since the end of 2006. Add on options are found with the dealers in case you want to enhance some specificity of a standard Saturn Sky, and this applies very well to the improvement of the suspension.

Conversions of the Saturn Sky into more powerful vehicles is well accomplished by Mallet Cars, Ohio who have registered exceptional results with the adjustment of the car with a V8 engine. Thus the resulting horsepower is not lower than 400 with the turbocharged versions going way beyond 750 horsepower. Other possible Saturn Sky configurations apply to the torque or the brakes that can be replaced with some custom-made ones.

Furthermore, Saturn Sky is also subject to electric conversions, or at least efforts are being made in that direction by teams interested in making it more profitable as an autonomous vehicle. Just imagine what it would be like to benefit from the advantages of a sports car while still eliminating fuel consume. Needless to say that a V8 Saturn Sky engine has a high gas consume, which is surely alarming for environmentalists. Given the increasing necessity to use the planet resources wisely, time may come when fuel-powered engines be banned from car production.
