The Buick Velite is a roadster concept car designed by Buick and built by Gruppo Bertone.[1] It was first presented to the public at the 2004 New York International Auto Show.

Originally speculated to use the Kappa platform (the basis that underpins the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky roadsters), in actuality the Velite makes use of the Zeta platform — which is shared with the Holden Commodore/2008 Pontiac G8, as well as the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
