Ultimate Wheels: Fighter Jet Saab

Saab 96 Jet FighterSaab 96 Jet Fighter

Ultimate Wheels is a car restoration show which is based on History’s popular vehicle restoration show Counting Cars, follows London Motor Museum owner Elo and mechanical mastermind Will Trickett as they transform Ferraris, Mustangs and VW campers into unique vehicles.

Seventh episode of the new series is dedicated to classic Saab cars. Inspired by the heritage of the Saab fighter jet, the guys turn a Saab 96 1972 into a vehicle that looks like it would be more at home flying through the clouds than on the road…especially with its inbuilt (and utterly unnecessary) parachute in the boot.

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.
