History
Saab 96
The Saab 96 embodied the company's aircraft heritage with its aerodynamic teardrop shape and innovative engineering. Early models featured a three-cylinder two-stroke engine with a freewheel mechanism, later upgraded to a V4 Ford engine. Erik Carlsson's rally victories made the 96 a motorsport icon, while its quirky styling and advanced safety features established Saab's reputation for unconventional yet practical design.
