The Saab 9-Griffin features an unusual
asymmetric exterior design |
 |
|
The Saab 9-Griffin concept was created by Joonhyung Park
for the final graduation project while studying automotive
design at Hongik University in Seoul, South Korea. For
2008 the design brief was to create a next-generation
luxury sedan.
The most noticeable feature of the Saab 9-Griffin is the
unusual asymmetric exterior design. This layout was developed
due to the idea of creating a vehicle which could emphasize
driver involvement on both the exterior and interior while
still essentially remaining a luxury sedan.
In order to achieve this the Saab 9-Griffin utilizes a
four-seat layout in which the driver is positioned slightly
further forward than the front seat passenger. The exterior
bodywork and windscreen reflects this design element and
forms a bubble around the driver.
Access to the Saab 9-Griffin is through two different
door systems. On the passenger side a single large door
opens to give access to all the passenger seats. While
on the driver side, the driver enters the vehicle through
a dramatic two-part door which consists of a conventional
side door and a forward hinging canopy.
