2009 Saab 9-3 Racer Readies For Swedish Battle

Illustration for article titled 2009 Saab 9-3 Racer Readies For Swedish Battle

Recently absent from the Swedish Touring Car Championship (STCC), Saab will be entering the 2009 season with this specially prepped Saab 9-3. Going up against the likes of the Volvo C30 racer, the Saab conforms to the series' S2000 specification with a 2.0-liter engine that runs on bio-ethanol fuel. That four-banger has been bolted to a six-speed sequential gearbox, hopefully not with plastic hardware, as that IKEA desk we tried bolting together was always falling apart.

Looks awfully stock, still. Hope it still has it's heated seats, though.
