You can find all the details on the web. But in short the Viggen is a 9-3 fitted with a 230hp/258lb-ft 2.3L high output turbo motor. Only available with 5-spd stick. Versus other 9-3s it has larger brakes, stiffer springs, unique 17" alloys, unique seats & dash finish, unique body pieces, and emblems etc. Also came std w/almost every available Saab feature except heated seats & GPS which were optional. Made from 1999-2002. All '99 were Blue 3-doors. Other yrs also had 5-dr and convertible in various colors. In 4 yrs of production only about 3,900 were made.
The word Viggen is taken from Saab's delta wing fighter jet and means "thunderbolt" in Swedish.
