This is a rare 2001 Saab 9-3 VIGGEN w/ 5-speed manual transmission. This is NOT the mass produced 9-3 that's so common. This is the super car that was only manufactured for 4 years by Saab. If you are not familiar with this car, please do some research about what is being offered here. This car was designed and built for an exclusive high end market of 4 cylinder cars. Only 1251 were manufactured in 2001, and only 129 were imported to the USA that year. This car was over $40,000 new and a special training session was required for new buyers. Nothing was spared in the design and build of this sports car. Every part of this car was specifically designed for high speed performance. Here are some of the performance upgrades outlined by Saab: Saab 9-3 Viggen A high-powered version of the Saab 9-3 is the "Viggen" (English: Thunderbolt). It is named after the Saab 37 Viggen aircraft. Production ended in 2002. It comes with a turbocharged 2.3 L engine, (B235R) giving 230 bhp (172 kW; 233 PS) on 1.4 bar (20 psi) of boost from its Mitsubishi TD04-HL15-5 turbocharger and 252 lb/ft torque. Acceleration from 0-60 mph can be reached in 6 seconds, coming in 1st in its class at 0-100 mph and 0-120 mph, with the top speed electronically limited to 160 mph.To provide and handle the high power and performance, the following elements were factory upgraded: Higher capacity intercooler Higher performance tuned ECU Larger flow-through exhaust system Heavy duty clutch and pressure plate Stiffened and lowered springs Firmer dampers Stronger CV joints and driveshafts As you can tell, this car is a complete performance package from the factory and does not require any additional add-ons, as is so typical with most upgraded 4 cylinder cars. Not only did Saab produce a great performance sports car, they also designed an amazing interior for safety, comfort and accessibility. This car is LOADED with every convenience and comfort appreciated by a driver and passengers. The drivers seat and controls were literally designed after the cockpit of a jet fighter. This car provides a wonderful driver experience with all controls fashioned for beauty as well as maximum driver function. This car was also built with ultimate safety in mind. It still ranks highest for safety even among today's standards with its side airbags. Here are some of its key features: Power locks and windows Leather interior Air conditioning - digitally programmable climate control Security Alarm Remote door locks Driver and passenger airbags Side airbags Programmable power seats Heated Seats Power Sun Roof On board computerized digital display including date, time, temp, distance until empty, average fuel mileage, average speed, and travel trip Traction Control System Headlight wipers All VIGGEN trim and markings And much more! This car was originally bought and maintained by the owner of a local Swedish motors dealer. It was meticulously maintained and garage kept. This car runs and handles like new, it is still like driving a $40,000 sports car. Immediate ignition, responsive acceleration, amazing handling. She sounds amazing and the huge turbo is music to the ears as she accelerates with a very distinct turbo blow off through the gears. Its almost a shame that this car came with a stereo and CD player. Everything on this car works great. The only aging items worth mentioning are the wear on the front seats, a small crack in the front spoiler and the gasket around the antenna (all pictured). It is inspected until 11/14. It was recently serviced at the local Swedish Motors Dealer including a full synthetic oil change. Also included are an entire set of 17" rims and low profile tires in great condition. Extra set of wheels and tires come with custom carriers. Clean carfax report done last year. Title in hand. You can own one of the fastest luxury sports cars in its class for a fraction of the price. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions. Thank you. |

Son surprises mom with her dream car, a 1973 Saab 99
Wed, Aug 13 2014Often, it feels like the news is just a never-ending stream of one depressing headline after another. It can be so liberating to see something positive and uplifting every once in a while. Just look at the ecstatic expression on this mother's face after receiving her dream car from her son. Mom has some seriously quirky taste too: she isn't after a muscle car or a two-seat droptop; instead, it's a 1973 Saab 99 EMS in a very '70s shade of copper at the top of her wish list. According to the video, it took her son about a year to track down this hunk of Swedish steel and save up the money to purchase it. Though, judging from his mom's reaction, it was worth every penny. She puts together what's going on with the Saab pretty quickly and immediately starts swearing at her son – out of love, of course. If you're feeling a little blue, consider this a much-needed pick-me-up. Watching the unbridled joy of someone getting something that they always wanted just feels wonderful.
Spyker to appeal dismissal of Saab lawsuit against GM
Fri, 21 Jun 2013It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced Saab into bankruptcy by stopping Spyker from transferring intellectual property to its Chinese partner.
Spyker has said only that it plans to appeal the decision. Until now, the company has been silent about the ruling. GM, meanwhile, has said it is pleased with the original outcome. You can read the quick Spyker press release below for more information.
NEVS Saab EV prototype on display, with top speed of just 75 mph
Sat, Aug 23 2014National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the Saab-owning Swedish holding company that is in turn owned by Chinese investors, has some problems (i.e., no cash). But that isn't stopping NEVS from showing off a prototype Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle this week. But wait, you might be saying, didn't NEVS already start production of a 9-3 EV? Yes, indeed, and the vehicle displayed this week was indeed built at the Saab plant in Trollhattan in May as one of those early pilot builds. A modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan, the EV has had the lithium-ion battery pack jammed under the floor, so all of the cargo and passenger space of the gas-powered 9-3 remains available. "The starting point for our development of the Electric Vehicle project was to maintain all the good attributes and characteristics," said NEVS' vice president of engineering and product development, Stig Nodin in a statement. You can find the press release below. The li-ion pack comes from Beijing National Battery Technology (which is owned by the same company that owns NEVS) and can offer a range of about 120 miles, NEVS says. The prototype also has a 100-kW electric motor that offers 140 horsepower that provides a 0-60 miles per hour time of 10 seconds and a top speed of just 75 miles per hour. That's unlikely to be fast enough to outrun Saab's creditors, but NEVS says that the prototype is here "to serve as a reference for specification of coming production model(s)," so let's hope the speed number can be increased while the range at least stays the same. Today Nevs presented the Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle as designed and produced as part of a prototype series in Trollhattan. The car is a modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan where the batteries are placed under the floor, keeping the full interior space as well as the luggage compartment intact. With that, the Saab 9-3 EV is just as practical as the Saab 9-3 Aero with gasoline engine. The Saab 9-3's famous driving-experience is of course preserved in the EV, helped by its low center of gravity and a 50/50 weight distribution. "We are happy to present the result of Nevs engineering into a real Saab EV product. The Saab cars' well-known performance and safety is maintained and we foresee a very good product for the market. When we developed the Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan Model Year 14, we focused on enhancing the driving experience, safety and quality.
