SAAB

A 2011 Saab 9-5 NG with just 29,011 kilometers combines the BioPower engine, six-speed manual transmission and XWD. Only 28 Vector sedans were built with this drivetrain specification.

A 2011 academic study by researchers from Cambridge Judge Business School and the University of Edinburgh set out to determine who was responsible for Saab Automobile’s bankruptcy. We go through its findings in detail - the production numbers, the GM years, Spyker’s 93-day rescue, and the China deal that GM refused to allow.

This 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero XWD sedan brings together the ingredients that Saab buyers rarely get in one place: Fusion Blue paint, the 280-hp turbo V6, a six-speed manual, all-wheel drive, documented history, and only 42,000 miles. With no reserve, bidding just above $9,000, and two days left on Bring a Trailer, the current number looks more like an opening scene than the likely result.

Larry Griffin didn't suffer fools or weak drivetrains. When Car and Driver handed him the keys to the new 1987 Saab 9000S - the naturally aspirated, entry-level version of Saab's flagship - he drove it hard and called it exactly as he found it. The result was one of the most candid assessments of a Saab ever published in the golden era of print automotive journalism.

New data from Sweden shows Saab registrations falling to 184,950, but the real shift is happening beneath the surface. Scrappage rates have dropped sharply, signaling a transition from rapid decline to a slower, more stable contraction of the remaining fleet.

Yann Michel has formally registered SaabZH Asso as a Breton association and announced the second edition of his southern Brittany Saab weekend for June 27–28, 2026 - a pre-1997 dynamic rally along the Lorientaise coast, a campsite dinner in Étel, and a Sunday château concours open to all Saabs and Volvos.

After decades in the US, this 1963 Saab Sport GT 850 - believed to be the only surviving example with a factory sunroof - has returned to Sweden. Once a fully loaded dealer demonstrator for the American market, it now emerges in excellent driving condition with a documented collector history, making it a singular opportunity for serious Saab enthusiasts.

At SOC42 in New Jersey, Nik Kreuger revealed the full story behind his record-breaking Saab 9-5 Aero, the car that completed a round-trip Cannonball Run across the United States in just 61 hours and 59 minutes. In a detailed on-site video captured by Marcus & Manuela, Nik explains the obsessive planning, stealth modifications, and endurance strategy that put Saab back in the spotlight—not just as a quirky brand, but as a benchmark of reliability and performance in one of the most demanding automotive challenges ever attempted.

Protean Electric’s in-wheel motors, first tested on NEVS Saab 9-3 prototypes, now power Renault’s 540-hp 5 Turbo 3E, delivering sub-3.5-second sprints and a 167 mph top speed. This milestone bridges Saab’s EV experiments with Renault’s performance future, proving the commercial potential of the tech once honed on frozen Swedish test tracks.

This Saab 900 T16S Ruby, #128 of 150, stands out as a rust-free, fully documented survivor offered by a 38-year Saab specialist. At £16,000, it’s a collector-grade classic with Carlsson power and unmatched provenance.
