2003 SAAB 9-5 2.3HOT Aero [250] 4dr Auto Saloon,

What is HOT Aero?
I live in the US, There is only Aero here.

Is it something that you guys made up? or Saab has that version in Europe?

 

[oddferkout]

High Output Turbo

It's what SAAB used to describe the Aero's engine. To my knowledge at least.

Thats right, 250 bhp from Saab and in this case an extra 30 from Hirsch

That's 'JohnM' from Surrey's Aero......

He only had all that stuff fitted to it last August......

Youll hear 2 things:

HOT - High Output Turbo
LPT - Low pressure turbo

HTH (hope that helps) :lol:

 

[swiftpete]

everywhere else i've seen it as FPT (full pressure turbo) not HOT. i know they mean the same. ah well, hot is a fairly apt word in itself!

IIRC Saab used the 'FPT' designation on T5 engines, and then changed to the 'HOT' designation for T7 engines.

I wonder why he wants to sell it...

 

[aeropilot]

I've just noticed the oddity that it's a MY03 but it's fitted with the pre-face lift early Aero/Airflow 17" wheels.......how odd. Although I do remember John saying that he was thinking about getting the 18" Hirsch wheels, so perhaps he had sold the 10-spoke wheels to help fund the 18", but then decided to sell the car and so picked up a cheap set of early Aero's to put on it to sell...????

As for ultimate Aero, Chris...hardly, not when there's a few Hirsch Troll-R's out there with the full 305hp kit, big brakes etc.,etc.
Not to mention that one on the Maptun site in Singapore with the full Hirsch bodykit, 19" wheels, AP brakes and Stage 5 package...!!!
