Default Saab's Hybrid Convertible

The Saab BioPower Hybrid Concept is making its world premiere at the Stockholm Motor Show today. The concept has zero fossil CO2 emissions and is the first hybrid soft-top.

With its 260bhp two-litre turbo BioPower engine and 53 kW electric motors, the BioPower Hybrid Concept in the Saab 9-3 range of cars can briefly generate torque values three times greater than its petrol-only equivalent. Saab's modular hybrid system features a maintenance-free, 300-volt battery bank designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, a 38 kW rear-mounted electric motor, a 15 kW integrated starter generator and all-wheel-drive with electric power transmission to the rear wheels.

Too bad it's just a concept car and not in their "production plans". That looks and sounds like one sweet ride.
