When people started sending me links for this, I thought I’d already covered it. Checking back, I realised I’d covered details of the Hirsch 9-3 XWD sedan/combi for 2009 rather than the convertible. So here’s the info, translated from Saab Germany and covered by Carscoop. I’ve got bonus wallpaper, too!

Carscoop are reporting that the Hirsch 9-3 convertible will still get the 300hp and 400Nm treatment. Being the convertible, however, the car won’t get the XWD option to help you control all that.

Top speed will be limited to 162mph (or 260km/h) and the leadfooted sprint will take 6.4 seconds before you hit three figures.

The convertible will come with 19″ wheels, shown below in black, a rear diffuser, front splitter, a mesh grille and Hirsch’s dual exhausts.

Hopefully this will be the sort of thing we’ll be able to order here in Australia soon.

That image is a clickable, huge 1920×1200 wallpaper that I’ve put together from the Original Hirsch image. Click to enlarge and then re-size it to your needs.

I’ll add this to the Saab Wallpaper collection here at the site. If you’re thinking of redecorating your desktop, drop in and check it out.
