2008 Saab 9-X Air BioHybrid Concept

The Saab 9-X Air BioHybrid Concept was a four-seater, two-door convertible designed by Saab in parallel with the 9-X BioHybrid concept in 2008. Both concepts used the same powertrain, a turbocharged 1.4-liter that ran on E85 bioethanol fuel, and it was coupled with hybrid technology. "The 9-X Air concept demonstrates what a future convertible from Saab could like." It's no coincidence that Saab launched the 9-X Air at the Paris motor show on 2 October 2008. It'd be exactly 25 years since the company's first convertible concept was shown at the 1983 Frankfurt expo. (caranddriver.com)
