Saab Turbo X (turbo)charges in the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show
Though scheduled to debut next Tuesday at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, the special edition Saab Turbo X has arrived a bit early courtesy of one particular Swede-o-phile over at Trollhattansaab.net. Actually, only three more images have arrived, but in addition to the front teaser shot that Saab had already released, the new pics show the car from the rear, as well as its exclusive blacked-out interior.
To refresh, the Saab Turbo X will debut the automaker’s new XWD all-wheel drive system from Haldex. It’s capable of dividing power between the front and rear wheels, but also from side to side in the rear thanks to a new electronic slip differential. Saab’s 2.8L turbocharged V6 has been worked over for duty in the Turbo X and now produces 280 hp, up from 255, and 295 ft-lbs. of torque. Trollhattan reports that it will be good for a 5.7 second sprint to 62 mph, which makes it one of the fastest Saabs we’ve ever heard of.
