Koenigsegg’s sudden decision to drop out of purchasing Saab->ke75 from General Motors has opened the doors for at least four different investment groups to purchase the floundering Swedish brand, which, incidentally, has not posted a profit for the past seven years. One of the potential buyers of Saab is the Dutch supercar manufacturer Spyker->ke84, which, together with its parent company, Converse Bank of Russia, has posted a bid to purchase Saab.

Unlike Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co – who only seems interested in Saab’s 9-3->ke209 and 9-5->ke1286 sedans – Spyker is looking at purchasing the whole Saab brand with an eye towards further developing the 9-4X->ke2876 crossover, as well a using Saab’s technology to further develop its own crossover, the D12 Peking-to-Paris.

In addition to Spyker and BAIH, Merbanco Inc. and Renco Group Inc. are also in the running to purchase Saab from General Motors.
