Top speed is NOT GOVERNED in SAABs AFAIK. SAAB is probably the last Eurosedan manufacturer that doesn't govern any of its lineup. Audi, BMW, Volvo, etc can't say the same.
The base 4 (185hp) and 6 cylinder (200hp) engines just don't have the power to play with the 540-whose 290hp gives it a governor limited top speed 155mph. The new 9-5 Aero is now up to 250hp but still is 40hp shy of the 540. However, the last 9-5 Aero tested in C&D had it to 153mph. Not bad, considering its power disadvantage.
