The Saab Aero X Concept made a star appearance at the 56th edition of the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, California. Next to him many other prestigious models could be admired: the Bentley Continental GTC Convertible, the Maybach Exelero Vision, the Spyker D12 and the Pininfarina Ferrari P4/5.

Jay Leno, the TV comediant was very interested to learn that the 400 hp twin turbo V6 in the Saab Aero X runs on 100% ethanol. "That makes this beauty a guilt-free machine, which plays well in Hollywood and beyond", he commented. Leno also has a 1958 Saab 93 two-stroke in his collection.

After its appearance at Pebble Beach, the Aero X was put on a closed carrier for a cross-continental transport to Lake George, New York. Here the Aero X will be among the main attractions of the 24th North American Saab Owner's Convention.
