The 2007 Saab Aero X Concept Secret Is Out!

It seems like there’s always a leak in the superior automotive industry. Following an Internet leak last week, GM officially unveiled the 2007 Saab Aero X Concept, a doozie of a name, Monday. Many have been on pins and needles waiting to see what GM would serve up, and it looks like it’s going to be one hot dish.

GM stated that the Aero X, “harnesses the power of Saab’s aviation and Scandinavian roots to make a unique statement in performance car design.” Conceived as a study to explore future deign directions (no, it doesn’t do any Jetsons moves yet), its innovative features preview the development of an enhanced design language that will inspire future Saab products.

Let’s take a tour….

First, there are no doors or windshield pillars, the Aero X has taken the aviation roots to heart and created a cockpit canopy just as you would see on a jet aircraft. This offers the lucky driver full 180 degree vision.

The 400-hp, twin-turbo, BioPower V6 engine is fueled entirely by ethanol. So, when you’re enjoying the exceptional ride this beauty gives you, the environment will smile along.

One of the coolest interior features is that with the Aero X, they have elimoinated the conventional dials & buttons. Instead, you are treated to 3-D graphics displayed on a glass-like acrylic ‘clear zone’. All exterior and interior lighting is by LED, so no more changing the bulbs every few years.

With weigh-saving carbon fiber bodywork, a lightweight powertrain, electronically controlled suspension and all-wheel drive, the Sabb Aero X is an exciting luxury car that promises the driver both class and ecstasy. Computer simulations anticipate zero to 60 mph/100 kph in just 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph/250 kph.

No matter how you cut it, the 2007 Saab Aero X Concept is a sexy, beautiful performance car that is calling my name. Do you hear yours as well?
