Saab 9-3 MegaPower SRT10 Viper Swedish

Unbelievable. Do not think of any other adjectives to explain the work accomplished in less than two months by a group of Swedish fans, an action which disrupts the watchwords of the tune to which we are all more or less used. Other than "remapped ECU," "diameter exhaust increased" or, at most, "redesigned".

The lowered and stiffened? Kid stuff ... If you want to give a new identity to your car and make it unique, nothing like a beautiful heart transplant. E ', in a nutshell, the basic concept that explains that, quite rightly, we can define "the madness of spring." Remember the B-Alfa GTV engine that we put forward in recent months? In the case of this Saab 9-3 station wagon, dubbed SRT10 MegaPower, if there are two engines, close enough.

In fact, the work carried out in record time by Emil Sjoqvist, Swedish fanatic who lives (and could not be otherwise ...) to Trollhattan, tells us that the Saab 9-3 station wagon home is little left. From the mechanical equivalent of taking a Dodge Viper SRT10 ("all" the mechanics, including the transmission, the trim, the front and rear), to continue with the platform, made ex novonel garage.

Expressed in this way, the idea put into practice dall'appassionato Swedish was much easier said than done. Especially if the goal was to create a car that was unique, in every way. Party by a Viper SRT10 "bad state", it was decided to transplant the entire mechanism on a 9-3. This, as you might think, has necessitated a new design of the platform, to accommodate the powerful 8.4-liter V10 and 600 hp made in the USA: that is, new brackets, new frame engine, a new provision of Affairs (who insists on it, can try to fit in a car with front wheel drive the engine - change a rear wheel drive) and, above all, an unusual central tunnel that runs through the entire cabin, where he was housed drive shaft .

Obviously, the rear has been revised radically. The rear end is in fact the same as the Viper SRT10 "cannibalization." Even the set-up, low and flat, is the same as the Viper. The work, which began last March, was completed with a new color in a gray opaque body, the adoption of 20-inch wheels of Juno and extreme roadster and, inside, the entire steering assembly, including the steering wheel of the Viper.

siacostata would be interesting to know how the whole thing (but, of this, the fanatic Sjoqvist does not mention). It is enough, however, the idea that now there is around the only Saab history of rear-wheel drive. And with my heart USA. Spyker's pace since last year the owner of the Saab brand, which models "extreme" if it means ...
