Today, I’m going to tell you the story of the Saab 9000 which is the most Italian of Swedish cars. It was built from 1984 to 1998 on Fiat’s Type Four platform sharing it with Fiat Croma, Lancia Thema, and Alfa Romeo 164. But each of these cars has its own unique interpretation of the platform, and the Saab 9000 is not an exception.
Owners usually described Saab 9000 as an airplane. You press the pedal, and it starts to accelerate as if it’s going to take off right now. An incredible acceleration, very comfortable seats, very convenient driving controls, and a lot of room both on the front seats and in the rear.
In acceleration on a straight line, it was essentially faster than BMW and Mercedes Benz of that time. The Aero version of Saab 9000 was even faster than Ferrari Testarossa or a Porsche Carrera 4 in a 50-75 mph acceleration.
They were very reliable cars that can make 300-400K miles and more without an engine rebuilding.

Here is the link to a short interesting movie about the famous The Long Run of Saab 9000 at Talladega Speedway:    • Saab 9000 The Long Run @ Talladega Sp...
