99 Turbo retrospective
Australian website Autospeed have put together an article on the Saab 99 Turbo.
Having owned two of them I was all over this like a rash. There’s not anything groundbreaking or new there, it’s a basic informational piece but articles on the 99T are few and far between. And for me, the 99 Turbo is Saab.

Perhaps for you non-Aussies out there, this will be interesting because it gives an insight into the Australian perspective on the car. This was a car that was well ahead of most vehicles, anywhere in the world. But compared to what the common Australian had access to at that time, it was light years ahead.
A highly recommended read - we all need more and more of the Saab 99 Turbo.



What happened to Saab’s “light years” lead over the years? Money problems?
Ugly wheels? pah!
