I got an email overnight from the guys at GM’s hipster site, igotshotgun.com. They’ve recently done a piece on the Saab Performance Team, showing that Swedes in sunnies can be hip, too.
It’s short, sweet and full of smoke.
Enjoy.

And if you’re feeling like a little more SPT, here’s the video I shot in Sweden last year at Kinnekulle Raceway. It’s even got me playing bass guitar in the soundtrack!

Mad bass guitar skillz, mate.
And some mighty awesome driving.
Damned good driving but I am not about to put my 9-3 through anything like that.
Yes, I just bought an 04 9-3 Arc with a manual transmission with just 49000km on the clock. Its true luv and as an added bonus it gets better gas mileage than my 130bhp Focus!
Wait a minute…The SPT doesn’t have XWD-enabled stunt cars?? There would be SO much more potential for their stunts if they had XWD!!
Did you get my email, Zippy? We need pics!
Nicely done, Zip. Welcome back!
Wow, I JUST realised how similar this is to acrobatic planes.. jets in particular! Reminds me of the Blue Angels/Thunderbirds at Cherry Festival! And elsewhere..
Pure nonsense!
Actually Joel they wouldn’t. XWD is great for grips and the SPT show is all about not having that. It is not so easy to slide and spin when the whole drivetrain is set up to counter just that behaviour.
Give them big-ass Aeros in stead and see them flying all over the place.
BTW the guys are really well known in China and Taiwan and draws huge crowds whenever they appear.

They’re also really nice and funny guys, worryingly my wife was quite charmed by them.
