Thanks to Alexander Chapurin we got this Saab story from Belarus.

On behalf of the owner, Alexander sent it to us story about the Blue Saab 9-5 and loads of beautiful photos. This SAAB 9-5 is from Minsk, Belarus and its owenr is Sergey ( you can follow him on Instagram @azimut5999).

This SAAB arrived to Belarus from Pennsylvania USA. and It was a regular MY1999 Saab 9-5 SE in black color with a stock 2.3t engine and 170hp. Sergey is a second owner of it in Belarus. He is a professional car mechanic and Saab enthusiast, well known among all the SAAB owners in Minsk.

At First Sergey wanted to upgrade the car to a regular AERO with 230 Hp, but, as usual, – it’s never enough… Currently, the car has 400 hp on the wheels and 660 Nm of Torque!

Below you can see photos of beautiful car (author of the excellent photo is Alexander Chapurin / @nils_aero) and lists some of the improvements that have been done on the car.
