2002 Saturn Sky

Saturn’s first venture developing a future roadster/convertible model was with the Sky concept from 2002. Even with a small 102.4-inch wheelbase, the Sky had two adult buckets up front and two child-size seats in the rear. Making it easier to get in and out of the rear, the driver side of the roadster had a rear access door, like on the Saturn S-Series coupe. Inside the cockpit of the concept, were center-mounted gauges, a small steering wheel and a special gear shift lever that folded away when not in use. The front-wheel-drive Sky prototype used a low-boost supercharged 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine with 180 horses and 190 pound-feet of torque, connected to a 5-speed manual transmission.
