National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) purchased the assets of bankrupt Swedish automaker
in 2012. The next year,
NEVS restarted production of the 9-3
sedan that lasted until 2014. In December 2013, the company pulled a silver
Aero
from its pool of customer cars, intended for
. The crash test never happened, and that silver sedan hung out at the factory for six years.
Autocar writes that NEVS wants
to find that Saab a good home, and will put it up for
later this year.
The model has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 217 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, shifted through a six-speed manual transmission. Other than the fact it’s spent six years holed up in a Swedish factory, the condition is brand new – there are only 3.1 miles on the odometer.
It’s hard to predict what such a time capsule might go for. NEVS only built 420 units before ceasing production, so the 2013 9-3 Aero Turbo has rarity on its side. This isn’t the only such Saab to roll out of the crypt recently, though. In 2017, a
2014 9-3 Aero popped up in the Netherlands
with only 211 miles on the odo. In 2018, a
2011 diesel 9-3 SportCombi wagon with 56 miles
on the odo broke through the space-time continuum in Italy.
NEVS will put its 9-3 on display in Trollhattän this weekend during the annual Saab Car Museum Festival.
