Detroit 2008: Saab 9-4X BioPower live reveal

Filed under: Ethanol, Flex-Fuel, Saab, AutoblogGreen Exclusive, Detroit Auto Show, Green Daily



This morning at the Detroit Auto Show, GM officially revealed the Saab 9-4X BioPower concept. This car was part of a glamorous press conference (gaudy, in fact, just like all the big automakers have here) that also introduced the Hummer HX concept and the GM-Coskata partnership (more on that, including an audio recording of the annoucment in a minute). This post is all about the live pics of the Saab.

The 9-4X BioPower concept is Saab's first CUV and signals the brand's expansion into other formats. As you can see in the many press releases after the jump, Saab partnered with Salomon for a place to stow your skis in the vehicle, but the green news here is the ethanol capability and the increased power the biofuel provides. I mean, the 9-4X BioPower gets 245 hp and 353 Nm of torque on gasoline versus 300 horses and 400 Nm on delicious yellow gold.
