At the German Autobahn with an Saab 9-3 SportCombi 2.0T and tuned by Hirsch Performance (230hp and 350Nm, 245 km/h max.). So smooth, fast and silent driving.
We can see that this sab easily accelerates, With several smooth and full throttle accelerations. This car is (almost) fast enough to keep up with an Porsche Panamera GTS, you may also see in this video. However, this is a station wagon car, but very fast SportCombi, which is easily achieved 240 km/h (150mph).
Also, this is perhaps the best angle to record video, we can see the road in front of car, but also the acceleration:

9000 Aero, Hold my beer

Even without mods 😬 I’ve made 272km/h gps with mine tuned and easily 250+ with a 240hp/t25 tune in the begining.

They don’t get faster just because they are tuned. 9000 Aero manuals do 155mph if standard or with 300+ bhp. The gearing is fixed.
