Saab Aero X Concept



The Saab Aero X was designed as a way to explore future design directions. Its innovative features preview the development of an enhanced design language that will inspire future Saab products.

One of the first thing you’ll notice is that there’s no doors at all or windshield pillers. This is because the car has a cockpit canopy, just like you’d find on one of Saab’s aircraft. This is to give you a full 180 degree view of the world around.
The car features a 400 horsepower twin turbo BioPower V-6 engine. This will cut significantly on C02 emissions.

On the inside, Saab has applied techniques derived from Swedish glass and precision instrument making, displaying data on glass-like acrylic 'clear zones' in graphic 3-D images.

Because of the use of carbon fiber bodywork, with a lightweight powertrain, electronically controlled suspension and all-wheel drive, the Saab Aero X promises performance to match it’s stunning looks. Computer simulations by Saab anticipate 0-60 in just 4.9 seconds.

In the back there is a twin storage facility. This features a conventional hatch for opening and a sliding drawer underneath.
