At the Geneva motor show, GM is going to show off its Saab Aero X two seater coupe. It is fueled entirely by ethanol (E100), thereby offering net zero tank-to-wheel CO2 emissions. With carbon fiber bodywork, electronically-controlled suspension and all-wheel drive, the Saab Aero X is projected to accelerate from zero to 100 kph in just 4.9 seconds with a top (limited) speed of 250 kph (155 mph). Although optimized for E100, the engine management system will make adjustments for any gasoline-ethanol blend.
Finally a car that can truly be considered green. But what I find most fascinating is that the Aero X does not have conventional doors and windshield, but an aircarft cockpit canopy.
