Plint Creative Agency had the honor and pleasure of being part of a top-secret project involving an electric sedan developed by NEVS, the company that acquired Saab’s factory facilities in Trollhattan after Saab’s bankruptcy, as well as the engineers who worked on Saab’s development.
While the public was not aware of the project, former Saab engineers had been working hard for the past ten years on developing a true Swedish electric sports sedan, which was finally revealed last week under the project name “NEVS Emily GT.” The creative minds at Plint had the opportunity to document the creation of this electric vehicle starting in 2020.
One of the most impressive aspects of the NEVS facility is the level of competence of its engineers. Several hundred highly skilled engineers from both Sweden and abroad have gathered at NEVS to develop advanced technology for electric vehicles.
However, the public has not been able to gain full insight into what has been happening within the company’s walls. Plint was fortunate enough to be granted access to one of these top-secret projects, the Emily Project.
The purpose of the Emily Project was to build a car that showcased the benefits of using “in-wheel” motor technology. The project began in December 2019, and ten months later, a complete car was driven out onto the test track. This car was ahead of its time, with advanced features and a dynamic design that had never been seen before.
Since the project’s inception, it has been kept under wraps, but today, three years later, they can finally share the materials they created during the project’s development. They have exclusively documented the entire production process of the car, from the drawing board to test driving, where every little detail has been meticulously thought out and selected.
Plint Creative Agency have filmed, photographed, and created an instruction manual (coming soon) that describes how Emily was built using NEVS’s (SAAB) heritage, experience, and expertise, and is the ultimate combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern 3D printing. Emily is a concept car that, with a dedicated team of skilled engineers, became a fully functional test vehicle.
Within this article you have the opportunity to see their documentation of this spectacular project, divided into chapters to give you the same experience they had. As part of their presentation, they thanked the company NEVS for being there and for giving them the honor of following this project. It was one of the coolest experiences they have ever had, and they will use it as a reference case for many years to come.
And there are also three fantastic videos that will give you an idea of what it was like to work on this secret car project. It’s just a pity that NEVS gave up on the realization of the project, and it is now available for purchase.

NEVS Emily’s performance and appearance have received high praise from experts and enthusiasts alike, including the renowned automotive designer and entrepreneur, Christian von Koenigsegg. Those who had the opportunity to drive the car were particularly impressed with its torque-vectoring, which enhances the car’s handling and driving experience. Koenigsegg himself was amazed by the car’s performance, highlighting its unique features and design.
Overall, NEVS Emily has proven to be a game-changing electric supercar that has impressed even the most discerning automotive critics and enthusiasts. The only question that remains is whether this prototype will ever be in serial production.
I LOVE IT!!!…..I’ll take one!!!
Yes please! That is one fantastic car! Lovely, modern, timeless style and very Saab-like.
It is reminding me of the Lamborghini Estoque from (believe it or not) 2008!
I must say that I am really impressed what those engineers managed to do in such a short time. I am an engineer myself and work for a big car company, so I know what it takes to develop a car nowadays. It is amazing how “ready” this car looks and how it drives. I hope that somebody invests in it and that this car becomes reality. I will buy it.
Great looking car. Surprised they didn’t talk more abut the benefits of in-wheel motors – or is it?
