OK so that&#039;s three or four words. Something lightweight, FWD (yes really), two-stroke. The styling I&#039;m not worried about at all. We already know what both partners are capable of if given free rein. The new direct-injection two-stroke tech is so clean-burning that very soon it could be ready for road cars given a little more development. KTM and Rotax are already working on it for street bikes which need to meet similar emissions standards. And of course the two-stroke is capable of a lot better power-to-weight than an equivalent four-stroke, not to mention being a big part of SAAB heritage. Everyone is rattling on and hand-wringing about SAAB not being able to compete with BMW and Mercedes but that was never what the real SAAB was about at all. edit: and by the way. Everyone does remember the variable compression engine, right? <a href="http:\/\/www.fs.isy.liu.se\/Lab\/SVC\/" target="_blank">link</a> <a href="http:\/\/www.saabnet.com\/tsn\/press\/000318.html" target="_blank">also a link</a> 1.6L five-cylinder, variable compression, supercharged, 225hp and 224 ft-lb torque. That&#039;s the kind of stuff SAAB is capable of - if they aren&#039;t stifled. And now they won&#039;t be.* *hoping Wed, 27 Jan 2010 18:21:24 +0000 http://hooniverse.com/blog/2010/01/27/hooniverse-asks-what-do-you-want-to-see-spyker-do-with-saab/#IDComment54099515
