As a subscriber to Saab-i, we thought that you should be one of the first to get a close-up view of our extremely progressive and distinctive new concept car — the Saab Aero X. With its stunning good looks, 400 horsepower engine and one of the most remarkable canopy/door openings ever seen, it’s sure to become one ofthe stars of the Geneva Motor Show.
This striking two-seater features the very pinnacle of Saab performance innovation in the shape of a BioPower Twin-Turbo V6 engine, whist the influence of our aircraft heritage is felt throughout; from the huge, 23” turbine-inspired wheels to the front air intakes and rear ‘fuselage’ design. For a more detailed look at this exciting new concept, visit the Saab Aero X website by following the link below.
