This cute little car belongs to a class of “Unusual Saab” – or unusual car projects.

This is reportedly The shortest Saab in the world – Built from a 1978 Saab 99, and the alleged length of the car was even less than 2 meters.

He even made a huge limousine based on 3 Saab 99 models – length of this monstrous limousine is an incredible 735cm.

And that’s not all, Christian actually created about 10 such Saab projects. One of these was the Saab 900 Pickup with the chassis intact from the 900. The rear end is Christians own design, the rear window and the frame around it is from an old VW Van, and engine is 1985cc Fuel Injection 118hp, with 5 Speed Gearbox.

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.
