In this year’s Frankfurt Auto Show, Saab had a public debut of its restyled 9-3. They introduced a special limited edition model tagged as the Turbo X. The predecessor of the Turbo X, the 99 Turbo was also unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show 30 years ago. Isn’t it wonderful? The Turbo X will be presented to the world in similar ways with the 99 Turbo. I think Saab thought of the presentation quite well. I find it really appropriate. I won’t be surprised if it trudges the same path the 99 Turbo did and a number of people are most probably expecting it to.

The Turbo X boasts of a 2.8 liter V6 engine that is able to deliver 280 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It is said to have mated to the XWD that enables it to bundle active torque management as well as an electronic limited-slip differential. To add on to this, Saab equipped the Turbo X with larger brakes in and stiffer Saab shocks and springs that enable the vehicle to have self-leveling dampers at the rear. The Turbo X is also equipped with 18 inches titanium-finish alloy wheels. I think it is also important to note the Turbo X’s interior that is said to have black leather upholstery highlighted with carbon-filter accents and an easy to grip leather steering wheel as well. These components definitely churn out an edge for the Turbo X’s ride comfort.

The Turbo X features Saab’s new XWD all wheel drive system and is said to be the ultimate Saab as of the moment. I don’t know the prize of this Turbo X. It could cost a lot. For those who want to achieve the same ride comfort as this new Saab, one can opt to have their Saab shocks replaced with a new one. There are many shocks available at Bilstein shocks.
