This Saab 9-3 Started as a 175-HP Patrol Car – Saab Turned It into a V6 XWD Interceptor
In 2009, a Swedish traffic police Saab 9-3 Vector 2.0T was damaged in a moose strike and sent back to Trollhättan. Instead of restoring it to original specification, Saab rebuilt it into a 2.8T V6 with XWD, effectively transforming a standard patrol car into a factory-converted interceptor. Sold at auction in 2023 for just over $13,000, this car represents a rare case of manufacturer-authorized drivetrain escalation within active police service.
