Video: 800bhp Saab assaults Pikes Peak

Saabs had a reputation for being bought by calm, considerate drivers. But the aero and turbocharged connections always meant there was potential for performance, as Per Eklund's wild 800bhp 9-3 proves. With a spaceframe chassis and an all-up weight of just under a tonne, he set a winning time in the unlimited class at Pikes Peak in 2002. Watch the assault here.
