http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=24826 "The Saab 9-5 Aero BioPower concept demonstrates that Saab drivers can enjoy the benefits of increased power and performance while having a greater regard for the environment. In combining the enjoyment of sporty driving with innovative and rewarding technology, it builds on Saab's strong Scandinavian tradition of providing 'performance with responsibility'. Powered by bio-ethanol (E85), a renewable and sustainable fuel, the 2.3-liter turbocharged engine of the 9-5 Aero SportCombi show car delivers almost 20 per cent more maximum power (310 v 260 bhp) and 25 per cent more torque (440 Nm/325 lb.ft v 350 Nm/258 lb.ft) than its gasoline equivalent. On the road, this is expected to translate to zero to 60 mph acceleration in under 6 seconds, compared to 6.9 seconds with gasoline. This is all achieved alongside a dramatic improvement in environmental performance, through reduced emissions of fossil carbon dioxide (CO2), the 'greenhouse' gas that is widely believed to contribute to global warming." Does that just sound awesome?! A 310 horsepower, 440 Nm torque *2,3* litre 4-cylinder engine! And it's "eco-friendly" to boot. And it has 3 pedals.
