The engine goes back to the Saab 99 (the model, not the year). It's had several major redesigns and countless minor ones, but has been built by Saab in Sweden since the '70s (it replaced a Triumph-built engine originally used in the 99). IIRC it premiered in the 1975 model year. Original displacement was 2.0L, with eight valves.
It's also likely to be the last Swedish-built engine we'll be seeing in any Saab, so think of it as a piece of automotive history.
