Designer Eduard Gray is already known in the world of industrial design, and he is known for his many car concepts, especially the Saab concept cars.
Eduard Gray is an industrial designer who has worked at NEVS (formerly SAAB) as a creative designer as well as on numerous yacht projects including Palmer Johnsson in Monaco.
This is his new concpet work – AiroX Autonomous car concept. Airox was developed on the news that SAAB AB would once again venture into the automotive market with their advanced AI technology developed for the aerospace industry.
The design is an exploration of how this new chapter in SAAB’s long history could be embodied in a self aware, fun loving car design that ties in elements of SAAB’s automotive design language together with the design elements of it’s fighter jets.
The face of the car wears the grin of the modern SAAB design language while the sides gape with the fighter jet air intakes that feed air through the car to cool the high performance batteries and optimize airflow through the body of the car. These aerodynamic themes are also present at the front of the car where air flows past intakes next to the lights and is deflected via air rams to change the downforce at the front of the car through different handling situations.
Perhaps most remarkable about the design are the dynamic spoilers positioned aft of the cockpit which deploy during high speed handling to affect airflow and downforce independently or in unison to achieve better cornering and stabilisation. They are also useful for communicating different moods togehter with the built-in screen in the front grill to the owner of the car or passing pedestrians.
The power for the car is thought to be high performance electric and the 0-60 time is superfast. The handling is supernice and the ride is supersmooth thanks to the micro-adjustments made by the dynamic airflow systems.
Beatiful concept.I hope really that it will became reality! SAAB can resurrect with this car! Owner of brand SAAB this is the future! Compliments
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to see the Saab name again resurrected. As a director of a Saab official service centre and parts supplier in Southampton, England, I hear so many customers say they would still buy them if they could. We also service Mercedes-Benz cars and many of those used to own Saab and would gladly do so again.
No, no, not a new chapter, it is just the tradition of Saab. Concepts that never reach the market.😂
War das als Saab mit Königsegg liebäugelte?
Snygg, tänk om Koenigsegg börjat bygga NYA Saab kunnat blivit en succé och ett komplement till deras bilar
We want the old Saab back and more spare parts support for all the loyal owners of Saab not new design but responsibility from Saab for all these people
Not Skandinavian, Not Saabish
To Jack Kuppens > True but we have to move on from the old “VECTRA” design ( I’ve had 4 of them). The above picture is only a “what might have been”!
