Saab Turbo X Review

Overview4 out of 5

Saab's limited edition Turbo X not only evokes the famous black 900 Turbo of 30 years ago, but also previews a new all-wheel-drive system that will appear in the Saab XWD at the end of 2008.

Only 2,000 cars will be built, with 500 of them coming to the UK, so buyers will be able to bask in the warm glow of exclusivity, in addition to the extra safety that the all-wheel-drive system provides.

Essentially, the car is a Saab 9-3 with black leather throughout the cabin, a metallic jet black paintjob, additional spoilers on the front and rear, new alloy wheels and some extra modified bodykit - plus the all-wheel-drive system.

There's only engine option, the range-topping 2.8-litre V6. This has been developed by Holden, GM's Australian outpost and fits well with the 'premium' nature of the Turbo X.

And the price for this exclusivity? Prices start at £32,495 when customer deliveries start in March 2008.
