Some cars leave a paper trail; the Saab 9-X left a name and a place in Saab Automobile's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
The story
The Saab 9-X is a concept car by the Swedish car manufacturer Saab Automobile, designed by a group of ten Saab designers, including Michael Mauer (born 1962) and the project leader Anthony Lo. It was first shown in September 2001, at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
The 9-X was designed to combine the qualities of a coupe, roadster, station wagon and pickup truck in the same car. The car used a four wheel drive system along with an all aluminium, 300 hp (224 kW) 3.0 L turbocharged V6, mated to a six speed manual transmission and 19 inch tires. It featured fiber optic headlights, and a completely keyless ignition system.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Saab Automobile's history is not in doubt: it was built at Trollhättan. Nearby in the Saab Automobile catalogue sit the Saab 60 and the Saab 600.
