Bertone is authorized to build B99 for Jaguar

Bertone B99 Jaguar conceptThe 2011 Geneva auto show is also involving Bertone – a famous Italian mobile company.

In the auto show, Berton is going to unveil the B99 Jaguar concept.

In fact, Bertone has already been given authorization by Jaguar (a British car manufacturer) to develop the B99 concept for Jaguar.

Bertone’s designers, however, are clearly not admirers of the current Jaguar XJ and XF. Those designers are more inspired by the classic models, such as the old XJ and X-Type.

The X-Type itself has no longer been produced, and it is said that Jaguar prepares to announce a new 3-Series as competitor for the X-Type.

In size, the Bertone B99 Jaguar concept may not be special, because it is said to be almost similar with that of compact executive best-seller of BMW.

However, if the Bertone B99 has truly inherited the classic styling, then we can still expect that the car concept will bring difference in Geneva and become a star attraction.

The 2011 Geneva auto show will begin on just few days later. There, we are going to see for real the first appearance of the Bertone B99 Jaguar concept.

The BioPower concept in fact has been already presented by Saab at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. At that time, the concept showed solid performance – it was powered by a 2.0-liter BioPower engine developing no less than 300 horsepower.

The new Saab 9-4X must have more appealing and luxurious concept. It is said that the new Saab will be powered by either a 2.8-liter V6 turbo engine developing 300 horsepower at 5,300 rpm or a BioPower turbocharged engine developing 224kW and 400Nm when used with E85 fuel.
