A Saab 9-3 SportCombi faced the ultimate test—a high-impact collision with a massive moose. While many vehicles would have been totaled, Saab’s legendary safety engineering ensured the A-pillars held firm, protecting the occupants. Instead of sending the car to the scrapyard, its dedicated owner embarked on an ambitious restoration, proving once again that Saab’s resilience goes beyond just crash tests. This is the story of a remarkable rebuild that brought a wrecked 9-3 back to life.

Among the winners of this year's Ig Nobel Prizes was the project, that is, the master's thesis of the Swedish engineer Magnus Gens, in which the company Saab participated, which donated two Saab 9-5 cars. We wrote about this project...
