Saab is our passionAt Hirsch Performance we work exclusively with Saab cars and have done so from the very start, back
in 1967. This reveals our passion for Saab and what we do. It also points to the expertise we possess
when it comes to upgrading Saab cars. It is also why we can promise to add a unique driver and
ownership experience to your Saab. From the Hirsch Performance development centre in Switzerland,
we offer you a full range of performance upgrades and sporty accessories.
Long heritage
Originally established in 1967 as a Saab dealership, we havefour decades of Saab experience. We are based in St. Gallen
and have grown to become a Saab competence centre with
activities that stretch far beyond the borders of Switzerland.
Remaining a relatively slim and agile organisation, our way
of doing things continues to be characterised by speed
and flexibility.
Exclusively Saab
Hirsch Performance is the sole official partner of Saab
Automobile for performance upgrades worldwide.
Premium quality
Hirsch Performance offers a high-quality range of performance
upgrades and accessories. We pride ourselves on extreme
attention to detail and on unrelenting commitment to the
tradition of Swiss quality.
High-tech innovation
Our design philosophy is perhaps best described as controlled
evolution. By this we mean an innovative approach to sharpening
and refining every aspect of performance. It is really anextremely controlled art, one that requires not only long
experience but also the latest technology.
How we work
We start with a Saab product and, through careful researchand testing, identify ways to optimise the driving experience.
Everything we develop is designed with integrity and purpose,
enhancing some aspect of perfor mance. An ongoing dialogue
with the worldwide Saab community ensures valuable feedback.
Meticulous process
The Hirsch Performance development centre features two
rolling road dynamometers and an engine test cell, enabling
accurate measurements and the simulation of extreme
conditions. The result is then verified under real-life
conditions in exhaustive road tests.
Retained warranty
In our work we always keep within safety and design limits,
never compromising quality and durability. Every step of
the way we stay true to Saab, which is why the Saab factory
warranty is always retained. The standard servicing intervals
also remain unchanged.

vitality and impressive torque. Now imagine unleashing the full potential of a Saab engine, increasing
the top-end output of your Saab by between 10 40 %, depending on the model. Add to that the
same increase in ripping torque and acceleration. That is what Hirsch Performance upgrades are all
about. Making a Saab that much more extraordinary through relatively small adjustments.

Exhilarating performanceDriving a top-of-the-line Saab is an exciting experience. Boosting its already powerful engine with
a Hirsch Performance upgrade takes you to an even higher level of dr iving pleasure. You can rest
assured that the already intelligent power of a Saab will now outsmart most other cars on the road.
Careful software calibration ensures that despite the enormous increase in power and torque,
the higher thermal and physical loads are kept within manufacturer tolerances.

Entertaining performanceWith the Hirsch Performance upgrades, Saab petrol engines receive a vitamin injection that
makes them deliver between 20 and 60 more horsepower than the original, depending on
the model. In parallel, torque is increased by a similarly impressive 45 80 Nm over a wide
rpm range. As you can imagine, this means a completely new and decidedly more entertaining
driving experience.

Excite your sensesThe purpose of Hir sch Performance is to enhance both the form and function of your Saab,
offering products that touch your senses in a subtle but distinctive way. From the instrument
panel through to the aluminium pedals and wheels, all the components are manufactured
to the highes t quality s tandards an d perfec tly harmon ised with each o ther and with the
rest of the design.
Leather instrument panel
The Hirsch Performance leather instrument panel creates a wholenew interior. We use carbon leather, which is a new grade of leather
with a carbon-fibre structure. The result is a truly unique cockpit design.
The leather instrument panel can be ordered separately or together
with the Hirsch Performance aluminium pedals.
Leather interior set for the Saab 9-3
The Hirsch Performance leather interior set includes front and rear
door handles, handbrake lever and smart-slot cover. These high-quality
leather accessories complement the standard or premium leather
option and the Hirsch Performance leather instrument panel.
Aluminium pedals
Hirsch Performance has designed exclusive pedals of unique fit and
quality, complementing the other aluminium applications in your Saab.
For optimal strength, the racing-style pedals are each CNC-machined
from a single billet of aluminium. And like true racing pedals, the
aluminium has been drilled out to save weight. Finally, the pedals are
equipped with non-slip rubber gripping pads for perfect control.
Fits the Saab 9-3 and 9-5.
Spoiler
Aerodynamic products from Hirsch Performance are created through
exhaustive tests in the wind tunnel and make a significant contribution
to reducing vehicle lift. The result is lower drag, better handling at
high speeds and a sporty appearance to match. Some of the best
examples are the rear spoiler for the Saab 9-5 SportCombi and the
aerodynamic kit for the Saab 9-3.
Stainless steel sports exhaust systems
A smooth idle purr, a relaxed partial load rumble and a gratifyingroar at high rpm with wide-open throttle. This is the sound of a
Hirsch Performance exhaust system. It is also the result of many
hours of work in the acoustics lab and on the road, tweaking the
configuration of the system to perfectly enhance the character of
Saab automobiles.
The tailpipes are polished, chromed and embossed with the
Hirsch Performance logotype. In order to integrate the dual
exhaust systems in a harmonious way, the system is delivered with
a corresponding rear skirt.
Through careful flow-optimised design of all the pipes, bends and
muffler components, back pressure has been reduced in comparison
with the standard exhaust system. The fact that the entire system
is made of stainless steel ensures a maximum of d urability and a
minimum of maintenance. All necessary mounting parts are included
to facilitate installation.
Just like all other Hirsch Performance products, the exhaust systems
are compliant with EU homologation requirements and are shipped
with the necessary d ocumentation. Vehicles equipped with Hirsch
Performance products remain covered by the Saab warranty.
For the Saab 9-3 and 9-5, Hirsch Performance offers dual exhaust
systems, regardless of whether you have a Diesel, BioPower or petrol
engine model.

Add to your pleasureHirsch Performance can offer you high-quality wheels, suspension systems and brakes that
enhance the already excellent handling that you enjoy in a Saab. Reduced unsprung weight,
a lowered centre of gravity and and even better stopping power are some the beneficial effects.
Not to mention the sportier and more awe-inspiring impression your Saab will make.
Saab 9-3 Aero is equipped with 300 hp / 400 Nm.
Stainless steel dual exhaust system.
5-Twin spoke 188" alloy wheels.
17" 345 mm brake upgrade.
Sports suspension.
Roof spoiler.
Brake upgrade
With the Hirsch Performance brake system, you can be sure that
the stopping power is always there when you need it. We achievethis by using well-proven, deceivingly low-key single piston technology
that is scaled up generously. This also optimises cooling performance.
Furthermore, the small number of moving parts exposed to the hot
and corrosive environment ensures excellent reliability and durability.
Sport chassis for the Saab 9-5
The Hirsch Performance sport chassis lowers the centre of gravity,
which means the handling and braking performance of your Saab 9-5
are improved and a sportier stance is created. The sport chassis has
been developed to ensure that comfort and handling are well balanced
and that the Saab safety systems operate cor rectly under extreme
conditions. Fitting the sport chassis means that the car is lowered by
approximately 15 mm.
Sport springs for the Saab 9-3
The specially developed Hirsch Performance sport springs lower the
centre of gravity of your Saab 9-3 by approximately 20 mm. The result
is even better driving dynamics with improved handling and braking
performance, while ensuring that the Saab safety systems operate
correctly under extreme conditions. Another advantage is of course
an even sportier appearance.
Alloy wheels
Hirsch Performance has developed alloy wheels in four outstand-
ingly stylish and distinctive designs, enhancing the appearance of
your Saab. The high-performance wheels are either flow formed
(5-twin spoke) or manufactured using a low-pressure casting process
(3-spoke and 6-spoke) and are both outstandingly lightweight and
robust. The reduced unsprung mass improves both dynamic properties
and comfort. What is more, perfect roundness has been ensured,
minimising the need for balance weights. These characteristics may
be hard to notice for the untrained eye, but you may notice the
smooth, vibration-free ride.
