The Saturn Astra U.S. launch is still 2 months away but GM showed the Astra at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Of course due to SEMA standards the car was tuned out. The Saturn Astra Tuner Concept was tuned with a list of accessories from Saturn’s European counterpart Opel.
Saturn added new front and rear extensions, a new grille surround finish, tinted headlamps and taillamps, a rear center exhaust, high-performance Recaro seats, a new interior trim, new sill plates and a new parking brake handle. GM accessories used on the Saturn Astra Tuner Concept included OPC 19-inch wheels, OPC rockers, OPC rear spoiler and a Blaupunkt sound system.
The Saturn Astra Tuner Concept is powered by a 1.8 liter Ecotec DOHC 4-cylinder engine that produces 160 horsepower. Other performance features included an exhaust header, cold air-intake and modified throttle body.
