Unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show Monday, the Aero X uses a cockpit canopy instead of doors or windshield pillars.
“The 400-hp, twin-turbo, BioPower V6 engine is fueled entirely by ethanol,” Saab said in a statement touting the environmental benefits of reduced emissions of carbon dioxide, a gas that many scientists tie to global warming.

Nissan presents its concept car Pivo at the 76th Geneva International Motor Show in Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2006. The Pivo owes its cartoon-like appearance to a partnership with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and is named after the ability of the cabin to pivot 360 degrees, putting an end to parallel parking and three-point turns, as the driver can always face the direction of travel.The International Motor show runs from March 2nd until 12th.
