(from Saab Press Release) Limited Edition Saab Convertible Celebrates First Year of Independence
Saab is celebrating the first anniversary of its independence by launching an exclusive Independence Edition of its 9-3 Convertible. Just 366 examples will be produced, one for each day during the first year and one extra for the start of a second year.
Unveiled at Saab’s
assembly plant in Trollhättan as part of a day of celebration, the
Independence Edition features a unique, Amber Orange metallic paint
finish. It is based on top-of-the-line Griffin Aero specification
and includes a limited edition number etched into the rear side
windows.
The Independence Edition is further distinguished by:
The powertrain choice
comprises a 180 hp, 1.9-liter two-stage turbo diesel; a 220 hp,
2.0-liter gasoline turbo with direct injection and variable valve
timing, and a Biopower version able to run on any combination of
gasoline or E85 fuel. All engines are available with six-speed
automatic or manual transmissions.
The Independence Edition follows a successful tradition of special
Saab Convertible models launched at springtime. This year also marks
the 25th anniversary of the start of sales for the first Saab
Convertible.
