Working in conjunction with GM Design, Gravana Tuning – a highly
regarded supplier of aftermarket accessories – has pushed the Saturn Sky
to the stratosphere with a highly customized concept. The Gravana Tuning
Turbo Saturn Sky delivers even more of what roadster buyers want:
all-around performance and “stop-dead-in-your-tracks” design.
By adding a Hahn Racecraft 16G intercooled stage 3 turbocharger to the
Sky’s 2.4L Ecotec engine, the Gravana Tuning concept returns 348
horsepower and 341 lb.-ft. of torque. Road-hugging handling is enhanced
by an adjustable coil-over-shock suspension system that can lower the
vehicle by as much as 3 inches – without changing the spring rate. Body
roll is virtually non-existent with the addition of 25 mm front and 28
mm rear stabilizer bars. Massive 14-inch drilled and slotted front brake
rotors, with four-piston calipers, provide additional stopping power,
while a number of functional design elements serve to deliver more cool
air into the engine and to extract heat from it.
Outside, the Gravana Tuning Turbo Saturn Sky complements the sleek,
crisp and modern lines of the production vehicle, further enhancing its
bold, cutting-edge design. Unique front and rear fascias, bodyside
panels and rear center exit exhaust – not to mention the OZ Superleggera
III 19-inch wheels and Goodyear Eagle F1 tires – give this special Sky a
longer, lower, and sleek presence on the road.
Inside, the Gravana Tuning Turbo Saturn Sky features a carbon fiber
console and dash inserts. The seat and door panels are finished in
Katzkin leather and suede. Seven Boston Acoustics premium speakers and a
Visteon eight-channel DSP 360-watt amplifier provide optimal aural
enjoyment and complete the interior upgrade.
