Saab 9-X Biohybrid
2008 Geneva Motor Show
The Saab 9-X Biohybrid Saab 9-1X .
It has keyless entry and small cameras instead of headlights are automatic. A front mounted camera detects if you meet another car.
The front of the car follows the design of the Saab Aero-X while the rear has a cut off look, similar to the Saab 9-X. It is powered by a direct injected, E85 flex fuel capable turbocharged inline four cylinder engine of 1.4 liters giving 200 hp (149 kW) at 5000 rpm and 280 N⋅m (207 ft⋅lbf) at 1750-5000 rpm. Connected to the engine by a belt is GM's BAS+ hybrid system which can provide a boost up to 19 hp. The engine is connected to a manual six speed gearbox with automatic clutch. 0–100 km/h (62 mph) is achieved in 7.9 seconds and it has a top speed of 216 km/h (134 mph). It has four seats although the headroom in the rear is somewhat restricted. As the name suggests, it runs both regular gasoline and E85 .
The fuel consumption (running on E85) is 6.41 litres per 100 kilometres (44.1 mpg‑imp; 36.7 mpg‑US) and the tank to wheel CO2 emissions are 105 g/km. If driven faster than 70 km/h (43 mph), the rear spoiler is extended and an underbody diffuser is deployed from the bottom of the rear bumper. When braking at speeds above 100 km/h (62 mph), the spoiler acts like an air brake and also is used to increase the downforce of the car.[1] ReferencesExternal links Wikimedia Commons has media related to Saab 9-X Biohybrid. |
