2006 Saab Aero X Concept


The most obvious and most striing feature to this Saab is that there are no doors or better to note, absolutely no windshield pillars. This is all due to the new concept of incorporating a cockpit canopy similar to those found on fighter jets.
This then allows the driver to a full 180 degree un impeded view allowing increased vision and response performance.

The Twin turbo 400bhp Biopower V6 fuelled completely by Ethanol which safer on the environment by cutting down the carbon monoxide emmissions. I personally feel that this car has several future implications yet some refinement maybe be necessary to meet consumer interest. But I do like the canopy idea allowing better line of sight into tight corners, especially when off road. Not that you'd see this car on the WRC rally scene any time soon.
