Saab Turbo X ....

[Bainie]

Seen a lot of ads lately for the new saab Turbo X , the car the VXR should have been, looks like an awesome bit of kit, ready for some serious tuning with 4wd !!

Problem is with only 500 coming to the UK they won`t be affordable in the near future

maybe a hint at the insignia vxr though ...

i'd be a happy man if they launch the Insignia with that engine/drivetrain combo.....


( better tailpipes than on the VXR imho as well ) ( )

mmmmm very nice im liking that !!!!!!!!

not liking those alloys at all, looks like we're going to end up back on 3-spokes in the near future!

and although it looks stealthy, it still looks a bit tame....maybe it's the colour though

Looks an impressive bit of kit - similar figure's and looks to the masda 6 MPS??

Its too overpriced for what it is, SAAB are also doing an AERO X which will use the same 4WD system as the Turbo X etc and is almost as fast. Except it will be considerably cheaper.


Quote from elsewhere

We also had the chance to drive a 252bhp V6 Aero with XWD fitted. It felt just as fast, a touch smoother and the four-wheel drive dug in equally hard. Yet when you consider the prices of the Turbo X and Aero – £32,495 and £28,695 respectively – nearly £4,000 for an extra 30bhp and some minor styling tweaks looks poor value.

read somewhere a couple of weeks ago that the insignia gets 296bhp and 4wd not that i will be able to afford one though

Nice looking motor that,they need that engine in the insignia for sure.....

Aero X also doesn't get the trick electric Limited Slip Diff, which the Turbo X does.
