Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Saab will be unveiling it’s Saab 9-5 BioPower 100 Concept at Geneva next week. As you could guess, the 100 means it is optimised for E100 fuel – pure bioethanol. The result is a car powered by a high compression 2.0 litre turbocharged engine making 300hp and 400Nm of torque, pulling it from 0 to 100km/h in 6.6 seconds. E100 has a higher octane than most petrol, so a higher compression ratio despite turbocharging as well as more aggressive ignition is possible.

Cool design….
alchoholic car, if driver drunk as well, both go to jail,
anyway, eco friendly,
some food staller using stinky patrol generator at night, poisonous as well, if this available ,,,,its good alternative
they may have a good engine but their designs are soooooooo old. time to wake up, saab. give your fans the new 9-5, 9-4x and 9-3 earlier than planned and you may still be considered a contender in the premium market. another problem, our fuel is so low tech, that car will almost never be sold here.
