A NEW sporty Saab 9-3, known as the Viggen, is to go on sale in the UK in May. Prices are to be announced nearer the date.

Body modifications include 17in alloy wheels, a large rear spoiler, front and rear integrated bumpers and sill extensions - the result is a 50% reduction in lift forces for enhanced high-speed stability. It is powered by Saab's 2.3-litre turbo engine.
