2007 SEMA Show: Pontiac Solstice SD-290 race concept

GM has revealed the new Pontiac Solstice SD-90 at the 2007 SEMA show here in Las Vegas. The Solstice SD-290 race concept that takes us back to the classic sports car design with its vintage design featuring a passenger cockpit tonneau cover and a driver windscreen.
