Saturn introduced this entry-level sports coupe, called the SC1, for the 1993 model year. The SC1 featured Saturn's 85-horsepower single overhead cam (SOHC) version of the brand's 1.9L 4-cylinder powerplant. To further differentiate the SC1 from the more uplevel SC2, Saturn grafted the front-end of an SL sedan onto the front of the SC coupe.
