Saab 900 (1979-1993)

Introducing the first SAAB in history that needs no explanation. The new Saab 900 Turbo 16-valve with Special Performance Group (SPG) is the first Saab whose intended purpose is as easily grasped from the outside as from behind the wheel.

It features special aerodynamic fairings, front and rear stabilizer bars, specially tuned shock absorbers, high-speed V-rated radials, the new 16-valve intercooled Turbo engine, leather seating, electric sunroof and fog lights. Supplies will be limited. So if you’re interested, you should act soon.

And be in the enviable position of not having to explain why you bought one, rather than the unfortunate position of having to explain why you didn’t… There were words from the Feb 1985 magazine ad. Sales commenced in the fall of 1978.

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.
