Saab 99: The Foundation of the Modern Saab
The 99 was a pivotal Saab that introduced turbocharging to the brand and laid the foundation for the legendary 900.
Produced from 1968 to 1984, the 99 was a hugely important Saab that established the design and engineering direction for the brand's future. Its distinctive, sturdy styling and clever, safety-focused design set it apart.
The 99 is historically significant as the car that introduced Saab's turbocharging in 1977 with the 99 Turbo, helping pioneer turbo technology in mainstream cars and establishing the turbo as a Saab signature. The 99 directly led to the iconic 900.
The 99 is a landmark Saab, the foundation of the brand's modern identity and its turbocharged performance heritage.
