Saab Aero X future supercar?

So let me break it down a little bit and then u can sink your teeth into the interative page.............400bhp and 500fp/t on an AWD 2.8L turbo engine, tickle your fancy yet? How bout rims that are spinners shaped like turbines but function to PULL air toward the rims to cool the brakes. Check it out!!!

Actually,

Just from looking at the rims, the fins are the wrong direction to pull are towards the brakes... assuming the car is going in a forward direction. The rims actually do the opposite according to the direction of the fins. They actually pull air out from the wheel well brake rotor area.


Sexy ass car anyways.

I'm sure there is a reason why they have it that way and I'm sure they've tested this a tonn already too so that they are ensured it works the way they want

Just read that whole site on the car...

the wheels are meant to "draw air from the brakes" so i was right.

And also more importantly, the car is designed to run 100% BioEthanol.
