"         The most radical production to date, dubbed the Turbo X, is set to go on sale this May, but in very limited numbers.   How limited are we talking? Well, for 2008 a total of 600 Sport Sedan and SportCombi (wagon) vehicles will make it here to the U.S. (500 of them spoken for through presale already), all of them in metallic black paint as homage to the original Saab 99 and 900 Turbos, starting at $42,510 and $43,310 respectively. Both Turbo X models feature an all-aluminum turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 pumping out a company record-holding 280 bhp at 5500 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque between 2150 and 4500 rpm that Saab claims will get you to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds. There&amp;#039;s a choice of a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission, both of which come coupled to the latest Haldex generation IV XWD system (all-wheel drive).   The newer 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero models will also have the option of XWD but the Turbo X receives an exclusive sport-tuned MacPherson-strut front and multilink rear suspension lowering the chassis by 10 mm, larger 13.6-in. front disc brakes with 11.5-in. rears and 18-in. alloy wheels, all of which increase the sporting prowess of this future collector item. currently has no plans for continued production of the Turbo X into 2009, so it&amp;#039;d be smart to act quickly if you&amp;#039;d like to get your piece of this Swedish pie.   What&amp;#039;s Hot:   Most powerful production Saab engine available Clean, sinister looks Trick new all-wheel-drive system  What&amp;#039;s Not:   Limited production (almost sold out) Exclusivity = $$$ Portly - Turbo X Sport Sedan 3740 lb. manual, 3770 lb. automatic; Turbo X SportCombi 3820 lb. manual, 3860 lb. automatic  Cars to Compare:       "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
