The Saab PhoeniX is a concept car produced by Saab which was unveiled at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.
The concept car's name was chosen at a time when the troubled Saab company had just been sold to Spyker by General Motors), ready to rise again, like the mythical bird the phoenix.[1] However, at the time PhoeniX was unveiled, Saab went formally bankrupt, unable to cover their bills.
The PhoeniX was designed by Jason Castriota as one of his first creations for Saab. The design was inspired by the Saab 92001, but with design cues from nearly every Saab model made.[2] The car uses the platform that was intended for the planned 2013 Saab 9-3 replacement, which was never realized.
The front suspension is via HiPer Strut while the rear is a linked H-arm set-up.[3]
