Very sharp front with nicely designed head-lights, lotta led there. Power comes from Saab’s good old 2.0 and 2.3 turbocharged engines. This electrical C70GB concept is powered by an electric motor that poops out 128hp and 255nm, max speed is a claimed 130km/h. To compare, the Saab-designed 2.0 turbo has 206hp and 300nm. Beijing Auto says they ‘reworked’ the engine and output is indeed higher.

Earlier on we heard Beijing Auto hired Pininfarina of Italy for the C70G’s design. Job well done, they managed to make this old car look kinda new again.

  1. Agree with Nisse. Saab 9-5 is a classy car with timeless design. This thing look like an ordnary Korean car that want to look like an Audi but doesn’t.

  2. No distinctive features and indeed, lots of visual cues from all sorts of makers.
    “Non” offensive, I guess, another Asian car then. (Despite the Pininfarina design)

    Indeed original Saab design is timeless.
