Matched to manual or manu-matic six speeds, the saab 9-3's engine is good for 247 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, topping the current four-cylinder Aero by a big 37 hp and 37 lb-ft. Complementing this newfound muscle are stiffer front and rear antiroll bars, quicker steering, bigger brakes, Z-rated Pirelli P Zero tires on eighteen-inch wheels, and a pair of fat-and very vocal-tailpipes.
