Saab 9-X BioHybrid Concept First Details Revealed

An expressive vision of a small car

Our recently launched sister site WorldCarFans Finland has got the scoop on this one। Saab is going to reveal a concept of their future compact car at the Geneva Motor Show early next week. The concept called 9-X BioHybrid, not the 9-1X as previously reported, is equipped with 1.4-liter 200bhp BioPower engine with hybrid power assistance. Saab is trying to appeal to a youthful customer with progressive design, efficient performance and some high-tech features. Styling is based on the Aero X and 9X concepts and the aim is pure, clean, uncluttered Scandinavian design. The 9-X BioHybrid's design also explores potential for active aerodynamics. Interior cockpit is innovative and there is seamless connectivity for technical devices (iPod, Mp3). The 9-X BioHybrid also features a unique load-carrying system.



Unfortunately no photos at this time, but we expect to post some on the eve of the first press day in Geneva।

Alfa Junior Furiosa Latest Spy Photos Plus Interior Shot

Coming off of the first prototype shots just over a week ago in Torino, here are the latest shots of the new Alfa Romeo Furiosa taken just this morning in northern Scandinavia. Despite the frigid temperatures, the effort put in by the photographer proved fruitful as he managed to capture first photo of the Furiosa's interior.

Scheduled to hit dealers in autumn of this year, the two-door hatchback is intended to do battle with serious competitors such as MINI and the up-coming Audi A1. Partly based on the Fiat Punto, we reckon the Alfa Furiosa will be the more attractive and exciting car which also explains Turin’s plan to employ the higher-level engines of the Punto-range with outputs between 120 and 227 bhp plus powerful diesel units. Additionally, adopting design cues from the Alfa 8C as seen in the headlamps and tailamps also help position it a notch higher. Being considerably shorter than the new Alfa 149, the new Furiosa could become an excitingly sporty hatch for the city. » Full text »
