Autocar – 1978

Jet Black

The astonishing Saab Turbo.

Dramatically different in its all-black livery. And packing an amazing
turbocharged punch.

To quote Motor magazine, “If the maximum speed of nearly 120mph isn’t impressive enough, then you need to look no further than the remarkable top-gear acceleration figures to put the Turbo in perspective; between 40 and 100 mph the Saab accelerates faster than just about any four-seater saloon in the world. And that means overtaking and cross-country ability of the sort hitherto the preserve of expensive exotica

It’s like no other motor ever produced.

Up till now, turbochargers on cars have constantly rammed extra air/fuel mix into the cylinders. Theyve been strictly for high consumption, super-sports-jobs only.

But the Saab Turbo matches its power to a rugged practicality.

The turbocharger only works when you want it to. Cutting in with a monster surge of power for overtaking or accelerating. Making motoring safer – and splendidly more enjoyable.

The job done, a unique pressure release valve smoothly shuts off the turbocharger … and you’re once more using the standard Saab 99 2-litre engine. Enjoying its already world-famous performance.

Inside, you’ll find all you’d expect from the Saab 99 at the top of its form.

Sumptuous comfort for five. A luxurious array of standard “extras” Up to 52.9cu.ft. of colossal cargo hold. The safety, reliability and sheer good sense which are the hallmarks of the entire Saab range.

Test drive this magnificent motoring event soon – at your nearest Saab approved Turbo dealer.
