Unearthed: This is what Saab’s unreleased four-motor convertible EV looked like

More images have cropped up online depicting an electric vehicle prototype that NEVS, the company that bought the Saab car brand 11 years ago, had planned to produce en masse. Carscoops is reporting that the images came from one of the designers who worked on the car.

Alternatively known as Emily GT, the concept was envisioned as an all-electric production car manufactyred in sedan and convertible body styles. Plint Marketing, the company that designed it upon request from NEVS, revealed the initial info in late April this year. The new sketches, while not coming from any official sources behind the project, depict the exterior and interior of the never-released car.

The idea was to produce a two-door convertible with two rows of seats inside. The original design study had a number of distinct features, including a trunk lid modified to accommodate the folding top, aerodynamic humps behind the rear seats, front seat headrests and a large central display with a touch-sensitive UI. The windshield also appears more sharply reclined on the convertible than on the sedan (you can see both in the gallery below).

According to Carscoops, the new model had been envisioned with as many as four electric motors. Even in its most basic version, it had a dedicated e-motor driving each wheel with 121 PS (120 hp / 90 kW). The top spec was supposed to up the ante with a combined output of 650 PS (641 hp / 478 kW). The manufacturer had envisioned the car with a giant traction battery capable of outputting 175 kWh of power for 1,000 km (621 miles) of range on a charge.
