SubLo Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Snippet from trollhattansaab.net about the Aero-X Black Turbo below. All-Wheel-Drive: Whilst Saab have licenced the name "XWD" it's unclear as to what they'll call it at this point. The XWD system is a new Haldex unit. Whilst it was said initially that the Epsilon platform couldn't take AWD, this new unit must get around whatever restrictions there were. IMPORTANT: As stated several times, XWD is not likely to appear on the initial release of the 2008 Saab 9-3. My mail has it appearing as a MY08.5 addition to the range. There is talk that there will be a slighly raised version of the 9-3 SportCombi that will also feature the XWD system to take on the Subaru set. With the introduction of the XWD syste, there'll also be a new "proactive" stability program introduced, which will boost power to the wheels needed to restore stability to the car. ---------- Black Turbo: Not much has leaked out about this one. This is reputed to be the big momma. The one that will fully take advantage of the XWD system and put some serious power on the ground. Hints are tha the Black Turbo release may coincide with the XWD system coming out and if so, it would be the showpiece for that new system. My latest mail on this (received just this morning!) is that the output will be 320hp and the rumoured 0-100 is in the mid-five second range. 19 inch wheels have been mentioned at a couple of sources, as have twin rectangular shaped rear exhaust outlets. I've also heard mention mate of exclusive trim options for this car, which you'd probably expect anyway at this performance and price point. --------- Anything I've missed, let me know...... ________________________________________________ [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1980"]'05 BSM OBXT Row-your-own, W.I.P. :rolleyes:[/URL] [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=1242"]'06 Shrek B # 64 - The car the wife loved to hate :( Sold...[/URL] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactojesse Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Looking forward to seeing the AWD "Black Turbo" model. It's about time that Saab recognized that FWD = WWD, especially when coupled w/ 300 hp turbo engines. (The rebadged 9-2X doesn't count, nor does the Chevy TrailBlazer based 9-7X. They aren't Saabs, IMO.) The previous Saab 9-3 Viggen was infamous for generating prodigious torque steer that rivaled that of pre-1980s FWD cars. (I recall dumping the clutch on a 1979 Honda Civic and hanging on to the steering wheel for dear life! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sactojesse Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 0-100 in 5-6 seconds? Psssh. I'd like to see that.. FYI, 0 to 100 kph = 0 to 62 mph. Unfortunately for us Luddites in the U.S., the rest of the world uses the metric system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
