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.
