The Saab With The Viper V10
Swedish lunatic (we mean that in a good way) shows how to make a 9-3 truly exciting
The Swedes, for all their good work in the realm of saunas, blonde pop groups and the ability to make planes that can use humble roads as runways, have occasionally been accused of creating rather dull cars.
That's not an accusation you could level at this creation, however. Although it may appear on the surface to be a Saab 9-3 SportWagon, but its creator has thrown away the cars ancient GM underpinnings in favour of something from Detroit rivals Chrysler - albeit of a somewhat more muscular persuasion.
You see, beneath this humble estate body lies the V10 engine and drivetrain (and -mercifully - the brakes) from a Dodge Viper.
You can see the full build thread for this meisterwerk, which is the creation of a chap known as mrspringer on Swedish car forum Zatzy.com, but for now all we'll say is that it obviously involved a mighty effort, including the fashioning of an entirely new bespoke transmission tunnel.
And if you're wondering from whence the Viper bits came, it seems that mrspringer somehow sourced a bodyless Viper from somewhere - you can see him 'assessing' it in the video below. Sir, we salute you...
