The World’s Only Brooklyn Gray Saab 9-5 NG – Mr. Ke’s One-of-a-Kind Masterpiece

The Enthusiast Who Never Let Go of Saab

For Mr. Ke, owning a Saab has always been more than just driving a car. It’s about embracing Swedish engineering, turbocharged performance, and unparalleled safety features. His journey with Saab began in 2003 when he purchased a red Saab 9-3 Arc. Since then, his collection and passion have only grown, culminating in his latest pride and joy – a Saab 9-5 NG repainted in the stunning Brooklyn Gray Metallic.

Despite Saab halting production, Mr. Ke’s passion never waned. His quest for a new Saab 9-5ng SportWagon in 2012 was left unfulfilled, but when a low-mileage Saab 9-5 NG sedan with just 75,000 km surfaced, he knew it was an opportunity he couldn’t miss. SAC (Scandinavia Asia Corporation), Taiwan’s leading Saab specialist, played a pivotal role in making this project extraordinary.

A Unique Vision – The Brooklyn Gray Transformation

The Saab 9-5 NG was already a rare gem, but Mr. Ke envisioned something that stood apart from the rest. SAC took on the challenge, transforming the sedan into a head-turning masterpiece with a full respray in Brooklyn Gray Metallic – a color not originally offered by Saab. Brooklyn Gray Metallic, a shade synonymous with BMW’s performance M models, has surged in popularity in recent years.

Known for its sleek, aggressive undertone, the color highlights the car’s dynamic design lines and exudes a modern, high-performance aesthetic. This distinct hue bridges the gap between classic automotive elegance and contemporary performance styling, making it a perfect match for Mr. Ke’s vision of a standout Saab.

The transformation didn’t stop at the paintwork. Mr. Ke wanted his Saab to feel brand new. SAC replaced every worn-out button, installed a state-of-the-art Android infotainment system, and upgraded the suspension system with new chassis bushings. To complete the look, the car was fitted with Saab 20-inch wheels and an Alcon 343mm brake kit.

The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail reflect not just a love for Saab but a desire to honor the brand’s legacy through innovation and customization.

Turbo X – The Predecessor That Set the Standard

Mr. Ke’s Saab collection isn’t limited to his 9-5 NG. In 2008, he acquired a Saab 9-3 Turbo X, a vehicle revered for its Hirsch Performance upgrades and unique character.

His Turbo X boasts a long list of enhancements, making it a true performance beast:

• Hirsch Performance 300 PS / 430 Nm Software
• Hirsch Intercooler and Suspension Kit
• JE Forged Pistons
• Carbon Leather Dashboard and Interior Trim
• 345mm Saab Brake Kit
• Custom Nappa Suede Leather Interior

The Turbo X became a legend on Taiwan’s streets, with its aggressive stance and signature Saab styling. Mr. Ke’s dedication to keeping this car in pristine condition reflects his belief that Saab vehicles are timeless icons of automotive engineering.

Keeping the Saab Spirit Alive with SAC

SAC has been instrumental in preserving Saab’s legacy in Taiwan. From regular maintenance to performance upgrades, SAC’s commitment to the Saab community is unmatched. Their ability to source rare parts and provide bespoke services has kept thousands of Saabs on the road long after production ceased.

Mr. Ke’s collaboration with SAC highlights the importance of having specialists who understand the intricate needs of Saab vehicles. It’s not just about repairs – it’s about creating a Saab experience that’s unique and personal to each owner.

This partnership reflects a larger global trend of Saab enthusiasts rallying around their vehicles, ensuring that the spirit of Saab lives on through craftsmanship, community, and a shared passion for innovation.

Next Generation – Passing the Saab Legacy to Family

The Brooklyn Gray Saab 9-5 NG isn’t just for show. It’s a daily driver for Mr. Ke’s daughter, Lisa, who has inherited her father’s love for Saab. As the main driver of this unique car, Lisa represents the next generation of enthusiasts who are dedicated to preserving and driving Saab into the future.

For Mr. Ke, this handover is symbolic – a way to keep the Saab legacy alive within his family. It speaks to the larger narrative of Saab owners passing down their vehicles to children, friends, and fellow enthusiasts, ensuring these cars continue to roam the roads for decades to come.

A Testament to Saab’s Timeless Appeal

Mr. Ke’s Saab 9-5 NG in Brooklyn Gray is more than a car – it’s a testament to the timeless appeal and enduring legacy of Saab. Through SAC’s expertise and Mr. Ke’s vision, this one-of-a-kind vehicle stands as a beacon of innovation, passion, and craftsmanship.

In a world where modern cars often lack the unique character of Saab’s past models, this project reminds us that with dedication and a trusted partner like SAC, Saab enthusiasts can continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

For those who believe Saab is just a memory, Mr. Ke’s stunning 9-5 NG is proof that Saab isn’t gone – it’s evolving.
