Saab 9000 Aero Nordic Extreme R

The Saab performance world is all about power, but it is also about individuality.

One such performance car is owned by Victor Eriksson – it is Saab 9000 Aero Nordic Extreme R, about which we have already written when it crossed 500 hp of power.

But, Victor upgraded the  2.3-liter B234R engine to now deliver 585 hp and 710nm of torque. These tweaks give the engine a boost of 85 hp and 110Nm, making the Saab 9000 more powerful than the BMW M5, which produces 560 hp and 500 lb-ft. With the new output, this is probably one of the fastest 9000 models, and also one of the fastest saab cars in general.

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.
