SOTW - the first Koenigsegg Saab?

Seen yesterday in the carpark of a highway eatery between Stockholm and Gothenburg.

Thanks to Baah!!

Hmmm.

Almost looks like Bard Eker in the reflection......

I'm totally making myself a Koenigsegg logo magnet for the back of my 9-5! Yes!! Oh sh*t. The area next to the license plate is PLASTIC. Eff. Well, I'll still make one and put it somewhere.

that 9-3 font is exquisite. Love the home team enthusiasm, but Eker would never use three strips of Scotch (3M trademark) (or whatever brand) tape to fix the K-egg logo on anything.

do we need a SAAB (heart) Koenigsegg bumper sticker?

Hilarious. Love to see some SAAB badgework on a CCXR too. CvK can you help us out mate?

That's a Turbo X. Perhaps one of those X's Lundin was speaking about? :)

I would rather see a Koenigsegg with a Saab badge on it... Anyone up to that? :)

That does look like Eker from the other picture, w/ sportcoat.

I made my badge. I think I'll try to sneak another one at work on the color laser. This one is just done on my home inkjet and will bleed with water.

Hey raquettelaker2 (B Millar?) Could I get a picture of your 9-5 with the summer wheels on it? It looks like you have 17" 9-3 wheels on there... the twin-5-spoke ones... or something different all together.

BTW, love the K-segg badge.

Yeah sure. They are 17"'s from a 2005 9-3ss Aero.

Oh man, those rims look great on the 9-5! Good stuff!

Yeah, I'm up for a Saab badge on my CCXR. Just as soon as I get it.. maybe if I win something big [enough]. But it has to run on regular fuel too.. I'm not driving anything e85 unless it can run on 10%ethanol gasoline.. not risking it when I DRIVE the car everywhere and use it for what its essence dictates: transportation!!! (And beating the shit out of it, since it is also a sports car!!)

I thought all E85 engines could run on pure gasoline (RON 91 to 100+)?

Thanks raquettelaker2! Those look fantastic.

When my 9000 Aero is replaced, it'll be an '04-'05 9-5 Aero Wagon. I'd be pleased if I get one that looks as nice as yours. I like that color, and those wheels are fantastic. (My first choice, however, would probably be the '00-'01 Aero klingon three-spokers. Something about 'em just gets me all misty ;o)
