About the 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154

The 1998 Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154 is a front-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,385 kg with 152 bhp, which works out at 109 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.06 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 9,203rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 53rd quickest of the 86 Saabs here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 83.1 mph, the 8,275th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154 0-60 time?

The Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154 reaches 60 mph in 9.47 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,203rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154 quarter mile time?

17.37 s at 83.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.42 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.06 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154 have?

152 bhp and 1,385 kg, which is 109 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 204 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154?

Closest here on pace: MINI Roadster (R59) Cooper 1.6 122 (9.47 s), Infiniti M30 Convertible 3.0 V6 164 (9.37 s), Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1.6 110 (9.37 s). Each one can be raced against the Saab 9-3 Convertible 2.0 154 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 Convertible 2.0 154 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
