SEAT Bolero

The SEAT Bolero 330 BT was a concept car presented at the 1998 Geneva Salon International de l'Auto as a four door, four seat saloon. The 330 BT name comes from its power output of 330 PS, delivered by a 2.8 litre twin turbo V6 mounted longitudinally at the front, which drove the front wheels through a six speed Sportronic Tiptronic automatic transaxle. Its most striking feature was the removal of the B pillar, with conventional front doors and sliding rear doors that opened independently to ease access to the back seats. SEAT quoted a sprint to 100 km/h in 5.0 seconds and an estimated top speed of 275 km/h. Styling cues from the car, especially in the front fascia, were later used on other SEAT models, and the future SEAT Exeo carried Bolero as its development codename before it was renamed.
