2002 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX CELEBRATES FORTY YEARS OF WIDE TRACK EXCITEMENT
You wouldn’t know it by looking at the youthful lines of today’s cars, but the Pontiac Grand Prix will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2002. The car that proved "Wider is Better" marks the landmark year with a special 40th Anniversary package, and a host of standard equipment upgrades at each trim level. The Wide Track Grand Prix offers handling and performance levels not found in sport sedans in its price range.
Introducing the new 40th Anniversary package
For 2002, Grand Prix GT and GTP Coupe and Sedan models feature the 40th Anniversary Option package. Some of the special appointments that set the 40th Anniversary Grand Prix apart on the road include: A unique rear spoiler, exclusive hood heat extractors, dual-dual exhaust system, roof fences that mirror the production car’s NASCAR cousin, special wheels and unique Dark Cherry paint. Inside, the milestone year is commemorated with unique interior seat emblems, as well as exquisite two-tone leather seats, door trim and steering wheel all done in Ruby Red and Graphite, as well as Ruby Red leather shift knob, and Ruby Red soft touch paint cluster and console trim plates.
More standard equipment
The 2002 Grand Prix becomes an even better buy than it’s been before. Previously Optional equipment is now standard, lending more value along with the vroom. On SE Sedans, the remote trunk release is now standard equipment, along with cruise control with resume speed and a rear deck lid spoiler.
On GT models a plush six-way power driver’s seat is now standard, along with an anti-theft security system and power door locks, as well as redundant radio controls on the steering wheel to operate the now-standard AM/FM stereo with CD player, Theftlock and six-speaker sound. The AM/FM stereo with CD player and graphic equalizer is standard for GTP buyers.
Same roaring supercharged power
A trio of stellar V6 engines continues to power the Grand Prix lineup for 2002. The Grand Prix SE’s athletic appearance is backed up by a high-powered 3.1-liter V6 engine, producing 175 horsepower and 195 lb-ft (264 Nm) of torque, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. A sport-tuned suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars enhances the driving experience on all Grand Prix models, while standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes and Traction Control help keep the driver in command under less-than-perfect driving conditions.
A 3.8-liter V6 producing 200 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque is standard in GT models. Top-of-the-line GTP models are powered by a supercharged 3.8-liter V6 that pumps out a whopping 240 horsepower and 280 lb-ft (380 Nm) of torque.
Interior designed for comfortable yet spirited cruising
Inside the Grand Prix, everything is geared toward one purpose: keeping the driver in command. Large analog instrumentation with red backlighting is easy to read, controls are canted toward the driver, and a floor console is within convenient reach.
A standard Driver Information Center (DIC) in the instrument cluster keeps the driver updated on various operating conditions such as traction system activation, the need for an oil change, or a door ajar. An available trip computer adds driving range, oil life used, average fuel economy, and fuel used since last reset information. The supercharged GTP’s DIC adds an engine boost pressure display.
Grand Prix’s front bucket seats are contoured to provide solid support for mile after mile of driving comfort. Seat tracks are 9.5 inches (240 mm) long, providing extra legroom for tall drivers and front-seat passengers. Spreading the front seat tracks as wide as possible assures adequate foot space for rear-seat passengers.
Every Grand Prix has manual lap/shoulder safety belts for all outboard positions, and manual lap safety belts for center seating positions. Driver and passenger front-impact air bags work in conjunction with the safety belts to protect front seat passengers. Crash-avoidance features on Grand Prix include four-wheel anti-lock brakes, an Enhanced Traction System, daytime running lamps with automatic exterior lamp control, tires with built-in tread wear indicators, and more.
With award-winning driving characteristics combined with a broad model lineup, the 2002 Grand Prix is a machine that’s sure to remain a standout. Its appeal and its range of excitement-inducing attributes are as wide as its stance.
