Quick SAAB




Even though SAABs future is a bit uncertain, their powermodels gives almost the same feeling as the 99 Turbo did back in the seventies. This is a seriously souped up Hirsch, based on the 9-3 XWD. Here from the pressrelease:

With the new Saab 9-3 Performance, Hirsch Performance, the Swiss refiner of Saab automobiles, presents a dynamic vehicle tailored to the driver. Not a mainstream product, but instead a vehicle for individualists with a passion for the extraordinary. Those who decide in favour of a Saab Performance can look forward to a driving experience in a class of its own.
The pioneering role of Saab in the field of engine rightsizing is demonstrated by the extremely efficient 2.0 litre four cylinder turbo engine: following the Hirsch Performance treatment, this engine delivers 270 HP (200 kW) and a maximum torque of 390 Newton metres. The self-levelling sports suspension in combination with the advanced Saab XWD four-wheel drive system guarantees an optimal and sporty driving experience.

The new Saab 9-3 Performance is another product of the many years of cooperation between Hirsch Performance and the European Saab distribution network.
