The New Saab TURBO X

Get turbocharged about Saab all over again.

Coming spring 2008 and inspired by an iconic vehicle, the 900 Turbo, the all-new Saab Turbo X celebrates 30 years of groundbreaking Saab innovation. This high-performance 9-3 model features a 280hp, 2.8 V6 Turbo engine that’ll fly from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds. Even more impressive, however, is the Turbo X’s cross-wheel-drive system. Unlike the traditional all-wheel drive system, this state of the art active on demand cross-wheel-drive system optimizes the handling of the Turbo X by instantly transferring torque to the rear axle during certain driving conditions, giving the already fun-to-drive 9-3 an even sportier feel.

Talk about driving elation.

And when it comes to design, the sleek Turbo X soars above the rest. Outfitted in all black with leather-appointed seating to match, this 9-3 sports exclusive special-edition rims and is available in either the Sport Sedan or SportCombi model.

Want to spring ahead and take a peek at the all-new Turbo X? Now you can – one will be available to view at the New England Auto Show in Boston starting November 28. And through our special pre-sale offer, you can get your limited edition Turbo-X now. Be one of the first 100 people to pre-order and you will also receive a complimentary XWD session at our renowned Aero Academy Driving School. See your dealer for details.

Enjoy your flight,

Aston Martin’s DBS has finally broken cover. Familiar the world over as Daniel Craig’s steed in Casino Royale, the final car is, if anything, even more seductive than its on-screen forebear.

The company has gone all-out to meld the aggressive with the elegant, turning the undeniably beautiful DB9 bodyshell into a carbon-fibre smothered, fire-breathing supercar, light, ultra agile and capable of earth-shattering performance.

Under the skin, it’s all change, with a boosted engine and powertrain mated to an all-new traction control system. If that wasn’t enough, the graceful flanks of the DB9 have been given a work-out, and the DBS’s body panels mix Italian grace with American muscle, yet somehow comes out as something uniquely British.

A lot of this is down to the engine noise and the interior, which showcases the company’s craft skills without skimping on the technological details – should you tire of the V12’s howl, you’ll find somewhere to plug in your iPod, a feature strangely lacking on some of the world’s most expensive cars.

Pricing will be announced at the 2007 Frankfurt Show, but you can expect the DBS to come in at the top end of the company’s range – now the Vanquish is no more, the new car makes a capable – and highly desirable – flagship.
