Saab Aero X Concept Soars into CanadaThe Saab Aero X concept car, voted "Best in Show" at its world premiere in Geneva last month, made its Canadian debut today in Toronto.
The Aero X is the next evolution in design that incorporates the innovative spirit of Saab's early aircraft engineers.
"The Aero X captures the passion of the Saab aviation heritage with a bold design," said Michael Grimaldi, president, General Motors of Canada.
"Elements from this award-winning concept will inspire future Saabs."
As one would expect from Saab, this dynamic two-seater sports coupe breaks with automotive design convention both outside and inside.
First, there are no doors... or windshield pillars.
That's because the Saab Aero X adopts a cockpit canopy, just as you would see on a jet aircraft.
Thrust for the all-wheel drive Saab Aero X also comes from a powerplant with a difference.
The 400 hp, twin-turbo BioPower V-6 engine is fueled entirely by ethanol, a sustainable energy source that is kinder to the environment by cutting fossil CO2 emissions.
The "green power" of this advanced engine gives new meaning to the phrase "performance with responsibility."
