The concept car that was never shown - Saab 900 Super Turbo

Saab was always one of the smallest manufacturers and money was usually tight. In 1976, Trollhättan worked on the introduction of the Saab 900 Turbo. An important model on which the fate of the brand depended. But, with Saab, they had a problem. The new 900 was, quite soberly, just an evolution of the Saab 99.

It was longer, offered more comfort and safety. But that was a thing with the design. Distinguishing between the 99 and 900 was difficult for potential customers not necessarily familiar with Saab.
