SEMA 2007: Saturn Super Sky

Click for high-res gallery of Super Sky shots from SEMA

Although it was already shown at the Sport Compact Performance show in Montreal a couple of weeks ago, this funky Canadian-built Saturn caught our eyes here in Las Vegas. This "Top Tuner" Saturn "Super" Sky is like no other Saturn we've ever seen. First of all, it's mid-engined. Second of all, that engine happens to be a Corvette LT-1 V8. What started out as a Saturn Sky now resembles something that could be an Exige or Cayman fighter. Perhaps a little too flashy for our tastes done up as a show car, you can see in profile especially that this could make a very appealing production Saturn. Perhaps it's what the Sky should have been all along. The V8 might be a bit much, but a mid-mount V6 sounds just about perfect. Granted this wasn't even an official Saturn project, but we like the concept. It was said that 10,000 man hours were spent stretching the frame, redoing all of the bodywork and creating that unique center-mount, single seat interior. We say nicely done.

Looks AWESOME!

minnfang · 11-01-2007, 03:31 PM

Kind of cool, but also kind of a mish-mash of ideas thrown together. All of the stickers hide the lack of "flow" in this design.

LAChevy24 · 11-01-2007, 03:55 PM

thats sick looking. iwould not mind seeing that come to life as the next sky and solstice

TriShield · 11-01-2007, 04:13 PM

It's an uholy mix of 4th gen. F-body and Sky. With cool results.

gdsm3 · 11-01-2007, 04:22 PM

That thing looks awesome. I actually think the front end of the stock sky looks better though. If they kept the front more stock-ish and put the splitters on that it would be even cooler.

Get rid of the stickers and paint job looks like a Vette Concept that I want right now...thing is great! Without the above mentioned...

Niiiice!

EldoFan · 11-01-2007, 07:38 PM

WoW.....

Michael_S · 11-01-2007, 07:47 PM

Mid engine Sky with an LS1? Sweet.

TJ95GAGT · 11-02-2007, 09:49 AM

Do that for Pontiac and call it a Fiero. lol

Looks damn good IMO although as someone else said I would like to see it without all the stickers.

Xeper · 11-02-2007, 10:07 AM

Very nice... this is actually the Saturn SS! hah!

jzchev28 · 11-03-2007, 02:06 PM

i love....lose the stickers

CyberianHusky · 11-07-2007, 12:23 PM

Soooooo.... essentially it's not a Sky anymore. As a seperate supercar it would make an interesting addition to the GM lineup. But as a modded Sky it misses the mark.

It looks like a jealous Pontiac designer snuck in and redesigned the back end. lol

King Riffle · 11-08-2007, 02:41 AM

Wow! I'm not sure that I like the back end, but it's certainly a cool idea for a GM supercar. I also like the fact that the engine is in the right place.

I don't need to add that the stickers should go.
