Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS

The Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s (100 km/h in 6.68 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.80 s, tripping the lights at 96.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.45 s and the eighth mile in 9.62 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS

The 2005 Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS is a front-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,690 kg with 247 bhp, which works out at 146 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.45 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,666th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 5th quickest of the 86 Saabs here. Its 96.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS 0-60 time?
The Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS reaches 60 mph in 6.33 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,666th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS quarter mile time?
14.80 s at 96.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.62 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.45 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS have?
247 bhp and 1,690 kg, which is 146 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 245 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS?
Closest here on pace: Honda Civic Type-R FN2 (6.25 s), MINI Countryman John Cooper Works 1.6 218 (6.25 s), Honda Civic Type-R EP3 (6.33 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Saab 9-3 2.8T SportCombi Mk II 250 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
