This Sport Concept based on Saab 9-3 was debuted on the 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show in China.

Today, Senova CC 2.0T (Saab 2.0 Turbo 204hp) has been launched on the Chinese car market, and serial version looks better than the concept; “Fatass” body kit with red stripes, big air intakes, a low front spoiler, darkened windows, a big spoiler at the back, and super sporty matte gray alloys. And what is interesting, it is all standard.

The Senova CC is an extra sporty variant of the Senova D60. The name ‘CC’ might indicate it has a special coupe-like body of some sorts, but it doesn’t. Basic design is exactly the same as the base BAIC Sedan D60, which is based on the second-generation Saab 9-3.

The second engine is much more interesting for it is the said Saab 2.0 turbo, here with an output of 204hp and 270nm. It is the first time that Senova is using this engine in the D60-series. For now it is exclusive for the CC but later on it will become available in the base D60 as well.

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.
