"With the 9-5 Griffin Edition, Saab reaches a new altitude in terms of premium standard equipment and value," said Steve Shannon, executive director, marketing and product, Saab Automobile USA.
The model will be available in four-door Sedan as well as a five-door SportCombi model. All versions will feature Saab's signature 2.3 liter, 260 horsepower (194 kW) four-cylinder engine that can be matched to a five-speed manual gearbox or to an automatic one.
Exterior styling of the 9-5 Griffin shows influence from the recently revised Saab family, like the use of matte chrome in the front grill and the frames around the xenon lamps. The sedan model will feature a small spoiler on the trunk lid, while the SportCombi model will have a roof spoiler and rails in matte chrome finish.
The car will ride on 17 inch alloy wheels. The special edition Saab 9-5 Griffin will be available in six metallic colors, including Jet Black, Snow Silver, Nocturne Blue, Pepper Green, plus the new Carbon Grey and Glass Grey.
The limited edition Saab is expected to arrive in the showrooms in January 2009, with prices starting at $42,775 for the sedan and $44,045 for the SportCombi model. Since the model comes with tons of standard features, the only options consist of metallic paint, ventilated seats and navigation system.
