The Saab 9-X concept car was designed by Michael Mauer and Anthony Lo[1] that worked at Saab Automobile.[2] It was first shown in 2001 at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The 9-X was designed to combine the qualities of a coupe, roadster, station wagon and pickup truck in the same car. The design was created by a team of ten designers at the Saab Advanced Styling Centre headed by Anthony Lo.

The car used a four wheel drive system along with an all-aluminum, 300 hp (224 kW) 3.0 L turbocharged V6, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and 19 in tires. It featured fiber optic headlights and a completely keyless ignition system.

The Saab 9-X made an appearance in the game The Getaway as a secret car. It's hidden in an underground car park near Chinatown, Soho.
