GM’s latest SAAB 9-x BioHybrid concept was voted as the best concept in Geneva. The hybrid is planned to have a 1.4L turbo engine that runs on biofuel, develops about 200 hp and has an extremely low 105 g/km CO2 emissions. The design is inspired from Saab’s experience as aircraft manufacturer and those alloy wheels looking like engine turbines, make it very clear.

An interesting thing about Saab 9-X BioHybrid is that above 70 km/h the body reshapes. I’m talking about an automatic rear roof spoiler, an extending rear upper body and an underbody diffuser extended off the rear bumper. The design is great as you can probably see and here starts the fun part. It was voted as the best hybrid in Geneva:

 “We are thrilled that our work has been recognised with this prestigious award,” said Anthony Lo, Director of Advanced Design t GM Europe. “The 9-X BioHybrid is a vision of what a future compact car from SAAB could look like. It is designed to reflect the priorities of youthful customers who seek progressive looks, responsible performance and high-tech communications, all in a sporty, fun-to-drive package.”
