Purer power from Saab

The Saab 9-5 Biopower is the latest green car on the block.  The 180 bhp 9-5 Biopower has a 2. 0 litre environment-friendly engine that runs on bio-ethanol produced from sustainable resources.  Bio-ethanol's higher octane rating plus Saab's technology offers 20% more bhp than petrol engines. Saab say its a 'purer power'.  A clear downside is that this type of fuel is not widely available in the UK.  Saab have addressed this by making the Biopower a flex-fuel car, it can also be run on normal unleaded petrol or even a mixture of the two different fuel types.  The car is on sale in the UK now from £21,651 - you can register your interest at their website.
