Saab unveiled the 9-X BioHybrid Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/03/geneva-08-previe-saab-9-x-biohybrid-concept/) hatchback last March at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Geneva-Motor-Show/), and it will be joined next month at the Paris Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Paris-Motor-Show/) by this: the 9-X Air BioHybrid Concept. Both vehicles are said to herald the coming of a production Saab 9-1 small car, but the 9-X Air goes a step further and replaces the original concept's closed roof with a flat-folding canopy top that's said to celebrate the brand's history in the convertible building business. Aside from that, the concepts appear to be almost identical right down to sharing the same turbocharged 1.4L Saab BioPower engine producing 197bhp. We'll bring you more pics and info of the Saab 9-X Air BioHybrid Concept straight from the show floor in Paris next month.
UPDATE: Many more high-res images added to gallery.
