Motoring TV has hosted its fair share of cool car stuff over the last 30+ years, but there’s perhaps nothing cooler than what the Saab Performance Team brought to the table in 1996. Motoring TV is a Canadian television automotive newsmagazine and TV Show was first launched in 1987 and has been on the air ever since, making it TSN’s longest-running program.

With a handful of Saab 900 Turbos at its disposal, the Saab Performance Team put on a synchronized driving display for the ages. And the best seat in the house was reserved for Motoring TV cameraman Dan Bailey, who put himself right in the thick of the action at Atlanta Motor Speedway 20 years ago.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
