The Saab BioPower Hybrid Concept also includes a natural step in the further development of BioPower technology. Such as the SIDI – a new direct injection system designed so the engine will start and run perfectly without any mix of petrol, even at cold conditions.
The turbocharging is tuned to take further advantage of the higher octane rating of pure bioethanol(E100). So, the engine can produce 260 bhp and a huge 375 Nm torque.
Acceleration is boosted by the electric motors of the hybrid system. Helping to catapult you from zero to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds. Faster than most diesel or petrol-powered cars, but with zero fossil fuel emission.
However, as with all Saab BioPower cars, the engine is immensely flexible and can run equally well on fuels ranging from 100 % petrol to 100 % bioethanol or anything in between. Which means you can keep driving while waiting for the world to catch up with Saab BioPower technology by ensuring widespread availability of E100.
