With the Roof Down at the Nürburgring!

Imagine a Saab convertible, a beautiful day, a roof down and the famous Nurbugring race track… in short – it’s lots and lots of fun for all friends in Saab 9-3 OG Convertible. Nürburgring – As much as 22.8 kilometers long, the most beautiful, but also the most dangerous race track in the world, carved into a dense forest in the Eifel mountain range, is a holy place for all car lovers.

The Nürburgring

Like all other luxurious buildings in history, the Nürburgring can thank politics and a big ego for its creation. Such an extreme and hard-to-beat racetrack could only have arisen from Germany’s incredible need to demonstrate its knowledge, power and dominance.

In many ways this race track is amazing. In just one lap, you can change the four seasons and meet almost all the conditions as on an ordinary street. No other track in the world offers that. This is a favorite place of car enthusiasts, but also of serious professionals, engineers and test drivers from all over the world who visit this track to test their sports cars to the limit.

A racing track for all car enthusiasts

However, for most of the year, when there is no testing or racing on it, the Nordschleife is actually a public track open to the so-called tourist drives: anyone, absolutely anyone with a driver’s license and a technically correct car can then drive on the Nürburgring.

The Nürburgring is the only track in the world where you can see a Ferrari and a Vespa at the same time, a pick-up and a BMW with two bicycles on roof racks, or a DHL van overtaking a Volkswagen Polo. And the appearance of Saab cars, both those with racing ambitions, through the Saab Toppola Camper, and all the way to this tourist drive in a Saab convertible that a couple of friends from the Netherlands recently experienced is not rare either.

The owner of this well-preserved Saab 9-3 OG Convertible is the Dutch young car enthusiast Vincent Stoter. Because of all this, he created a special Instagram account for his car and his Saab passion, so you can follow him on his travels around Europe. He is the grateful owner of this Saab 9-3 cabriolet from 2001!

In almost two years of ownership, Vincent has had a lot done to the car, which he would like all you Saab enthusiasts to do.  Happiness and satisfaction would not be so great if you did not share them with friends. That’s why Vincet came up with the idea to drive to The Nürburgring track with his friends and enjoy the speed and experience.

Of course, they recorded it all, edited the video, which we believe will entertain many more car enthusiasts, at least partly as much as this cheerful Saab team from the Netherlands.

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.
