Richard Shaw: We start with concept of the cold direction with a clean sheet of
paper. What could be this whole direction façade taking its
heritage of doing it in completely different way.

Tony Lo: The first sub we call the o-sub is actually equated by SAFNA air
craft engineers and this car has probably the most aerodynamic
shape of its kind. Since subs coming from its plane heritage, the
aircraft heritage, we’ll do something on the decoration.

Boris Jakob: My name is Boris Jakob and I’m the chief exterior designer from
the Saab.

Tony Lo: But first of all, I think we start it off from the rather aerodynamic
shape. It has a lot of plate that we call a vehicle plate if we look
at the car from before and with this all ready, a very sharp
vertical rear end. So, we’ll produce that in the future as in this
place with the important role in the Saab products.

Male: We had everything that we could do to improve the efficiency of
the vehicle.

Tony Lo: The drawback of having a car in this very complex dimension is
that there is not enough length of the car so by having a physical
extension of the car which we have on the rear corner just
extends the car physically by almost 100 millimeters and this
really improves the aerodynamic efficiency by up to ten percent.

Boris Jakob: We have minimized every thing that could have an impact on
aero so it us become aware and chosen because they are a lot
smaller than a low mode mirror.

Richard Shaw: We have already Camaros with aerodynamics car to try and keep
the track in the exterior as efficiently as possible so the resulting
interiors having to package them in this. I’m Richard Shaw. I’m
the chief designer in the Enhance Design Area in interiors.

Now, this particular vehicle with all its own interiors. We’re
really trying to do something fast and progressive and we’re
creating a whole new direction for solid interior where we tap a
complete design as possibly for the whole new pressure points.
Instead of the classic set of console with extensive Kentucky
fresh and scrap this in a more horizontal light creating a wide
interior and taking the instruments straight into the door.

Tony Lo: We integrate a lot of the controls into their steering wheel. It’s a
fixed-up steering wheel. It is also that something is new and
gives us something good for the top end.

Richard Shaw: We’ve verified the color of simplicity and major forms that will
vary on the strength and simple. It’s still progressive and
dynamic. I think I have a mixture of challenges and functionality,
practicality, far heritage that we’re tapping in a new way. There’s
a lot to bring kind of thing. Some people are simple

Tony Lo: The aero-X is this ambition for the Saab then. The 9 X Fire
Hybrid is something that we can imagine taking some of the cues
from the Aero X whether this is the fun of end that really vote
from end and also the ice block concept heath land and adapted
to a package which you can put tensionlessly as something on the
road in a relatively shorter time.

Richard Shaw: I think people looking at this car think they should just have that
feeling of profoundness and its objects of feeling just by
discoloring this tone as desired and etched it for the Saab I think
I really focused to.

Mark Adams: Two years ago in this very venue, we launched the Aero X
concept car and that was deliberate to really set the stage in the
iconic design value where we wanted to take this sub-brand
which the way I look at it has got half an eye on history looking
back to the old 999’s capturing some of the spirit of those
vehicles that bring them in forward in a much more
contemporary modern way.
