Saab 9-3 Turbo X

[mayfair86]

Well as some of you may know a few months ago I traded the trusty Toledo in for a 2008 (58) Saab 9-3 Turbo X 2.8 Twin-scroll Turbo V6. So I thought even though its not a Seat some of you may be interested in it .

The car is completely standard except for a K&N Pannel filter and will be staying standard except for servicable parts :-D.

Spec:
2.8 Twin-Scroll Turbo V6 (280BHP, 400NM Torque)
Full boost from 2,250-4,500 RPM
0-60 in 5.4s
Full Torque vectoring Haldex 4 wheel drive system with e-LSD at the rear
6 Speed
Full heated leather interior
Sports steering wheel
Carbon fibre inlays
Full Sat-Nav with traffic, Aux and Voice command
Full Bose sound system with massive amp in the boot
Hands free bluetooth
Xenon auto leveling, cornering (the actual headlights turn with the wheels) HID headlights and LED sidelights
Hirsch front and rear bumpers, side skirts, splitter, spoiler and brakes.
19" 6 spoke wheels (Currently sitting on 17" Vectra rims for winter)
345mm front and 292mm rear vented Hirsch brakes.
Full 3" exhaust with twin exit (see videos )(Standard)

Anyway enough with the spec heres some pics:

That looks awesome. Basically a vectra vxr in a nicer body isn't it??? They're bloody quick as well. The links don't work for me.

and more power with less weight (vectra VXR is only 250bhp and 355NM) i think ive sorted them, let me know if they still dont work...

Gotta get me one of them Saab's. The mrs isn't convinced yet, but they're a bargain for what you can pick them up for! Maybe my next car once I get bored of the LC I just bought

And the vxr is only front wheel drive not 4wd, it was basically the test model for the insignia vxr

I wanted a 9-5 turbo x but they're only available in the US

Also forgot to mention that this is one of only 143 in the UK! :-D
