BAIC Sport Phantom

At the Shanghai Auto Show Chinese auto manufacturer BAIC has displayed it's first own design based on the pre 2006 Saab 9-3 technology the company bought in 2009. The car is named the BAIC T60 Sport Phantom and is a concept car. The real deal is supposed to go into production next year.

The engines are supposed to be Saab's old 2.0 and 2.3 turbo engines.
