900
Being
produced for over 15 years the Saab 900 was a major
player in Saabs continued success throughout the
80’s and early 90’s.
In this period over 900,000 were produced and included
nearly 50,000 of the elegant and stylish convertible.
Derived from the Saab
99, the 900 was very different
car indeed. It featured a new front section, re designed
rear and a new interior said to be based on cockpit
design principles.
In 1984 Saab took this one step further with the
introduction of the 900 turbo 16s. By using a new design
16 valve head, a modern turbocharger and an intercooler
power output was increased, 175bhp with a massive 201lbft
of torque.
1986 saw the launch of the convertible. Based on
a 2 door it featured a electric/hydraulic folding hood
and strengthened body section. Early models were all
turbocharged with high specification including full
luxury leather interior. The convertible range was
increased in 1990 with the inclusion of a 2.0 naturally
aspirated engine.
To mark the end of production
in March 1993 there was a special edition ‘ruby’ Painted
in ruby metallic with special trim these cars are
very sought after.
