Show aswsjAI Automotive. THE PARK RECORD SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2001 ' ' - C-16 SAAB'S 9-3 VIGGEN by Bruce & Holly Hubbard The Advisor Croup The Sajb 9-3 Viggen Is not a Jet but close to it. It is offered in 2002 as a coupe, 5 door and convertible. convert-ible. Putting power to the Saab Viggen Ls a real turn on. Behind the cockpit we were always in con-trol con-trol and pleased with every movement move-ment of the 9-3 Viggen.. For those in the high mountain area of Utah the turbo charger delivers power that few normally aspirated vehicles vehi-cles can. This model is the first creation of Saab's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), with technical input from the TYVR Group - the specialist engineering outfit that has built Le Maavvvinning sports cars and runs the Arrows Formula One team. The heart of the Viggen -Swedish for "thunderbolt" and the name of Saab's Mach 2 jet fighter -Ls a high-output turbocharged 2.3-liter 2.3-liter engine developing a superb 230 horsepower at 5500 rpm and a mighty 258 foot pounds of torque from 2500 to 4000 rpm. The Viggen's chassis is optimised opti-mised to deliver the best in both sports handling and prestige comfort, com-fort, the Saab 9-3 Viggen is a genuinely gen-uinely powerful sports-tourer able to cover long distances quickly, effortlessly and safely. The 9-3 Viggen is distinguished from other 9-3 models by its eyecatching eye-catching aircraft-inspired aerodynamic aerody-namic body kit that cuts lift forces by 50 per cent and reduces drag by 8 per cent. Instrumental in decreasing decreas-ing the Viggen's drag is the deep front spoiler and pronounced rocker rock-er panel extensions. The front spoiler pushes more of the airflow over the surface of the body rather than allowing it underneath. The integrated rocker panels contain and channel what airflow there is under the body rather than allow it to dissipate from the sides. When the directed underbody airflow air-flow exits the rear of the car, it properly integrates into the airflow off of the rear wing.

The Saab JA37 Viggen's delta wing design provides the lift and agility necessary to enable this multi-purpose jet fighter to perform per-form its airborne duties. In contrast, con-trast, the inverted rear wing designed for the 9-3 Viggen with greater surface area on the underside under-side than on top, keeps the earth-bound earth-bound Viggen firmly planted on the ground by creating an area of low pn-ssure beneath the wing. This provides enhanced highspeed high-speed stability and a more linear response to hard braking, preventing prevent-ing the 9-3 Viggen from "nose diving" div-ing" during high-speed deceleration. decelera-tion. Balance is the key, not only for Saab JA37 Viggen jet fighter pilots, but also for pilots of the low-flying Saab 9-3 Viggen automobile. auto-mobile.

Traction is aided by the inclusion of 21545ZR17 performance per-formance tires on the Viggen's standard-equipment list The Viggen's high-performance attributes pervade the car's interior as well. An aircraft-inspired instrument instru-ment panel faces drivers, giving them a no-nonsense view of what is happening with the car. A pleasing pleas-ing orange hue lights the gauges and secondary controls, easing eyestrain while driving at night An inventive "Night Panel" button allows everything but the speedometer to be blacked out for even better nighttime visibility (in the evenf that a warning light goes off, the panel automatically re-illuminates.)
