General Motors introduced the Saturn Curve at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. It was one of the vehicles, including the Pontiac Solstice production model and Chevrolet Nomad concept, built on GM's new rear-wheel-drive Kappa architecture.
Design creativity and implementation was a collaboration of GM's worldwide resources, driven by GM North America's Advanced Design Team and developed by GM's European Advanced Design Center in Sweden. The final assembly was completed in Italy, with assistance from Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina.
Despite its relaxed demeanor inside, the Curve delivers a stirring sports car experience. sport coupe features rear-wheel drive, independent front and rear suspensions, and a solid chassis built on the foundation of full-length hydroformed frame rails. Stampings attached to the rails form a rigid structure onto which the body panels are mounted. Sports car performance is derived from a supercharged 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine that produces 230 horsepower and 219.8 ft-lb of torque, the transmission is a Getrag five-speed manual.
