2007 Cascadia Solaris SC Turbo
Introduced in 2002 and facelifted in 2005, the Solaris Sport Coupé provided Cascadia buyers with a sporty compact coupe based on the conventional Solaris compact. With the upcoming new generation of Solaris for 2008, Cascadia decided to heavily facelift the SC to resemble the new generation Solaris rather than spend the money developing a new low volume model in a shrinking segment. As such, the 2007 Solaris SC was an update on the design and engineering that offered a bit of an early preview at the next Solaris.
Under the hood of the Solaris SC Turbo was the RCM I4-M S4 2.1-ST2, also updated for 2007, producing a healthy 220 hp and 235 lb-ft. Power was sent to the front wheels through an LSD and a new 6-speed manual, allowing for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.7s and returning 34 MPG.
Other features of the Turbo model were the aggressive body kit with centre exhaust, semi-active sway bars, Bremei brakes, standard lip spoiler, and 17" alloy wheels.
