Robert Uhr‘s hot Saab 900GTR  gets a bit more power and nicer trim for 2017, just to make us love it more.

The changes aren’t but the car with new settings has switched over 500bhp: its 2.3-litre turbo petrol engine is upgraded from 480 to 515bhp, enough to shave a couple of tenths off the 100-200km/h time, which now stands at 6.4 seconds – Which is faster than a large number of supercars, and its maximum speed is over 300 km!

A few of performance figures, acceleration times by Gtech ProSS:

Robert and his Nordic Dalarna team are behind the project of Saab 900 2.3T GTR with the new shape for 2017, now with custom modified TD04 20T 7#.

Also, gearbox is Regular 5-speed manual with 9-5/9-3 Viggen Sellholm LSD and Viggen joints and shafts. New dyno pulled out 515hp-780nm on full boost 1.8 bar. New custom Front splitters were added to reduce air flow under the car and in front of the wheels, thus creating down force.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
