SAAB 900 EMS

NEW SAAB IS RESULT OF MASSIVE SWEDISH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The introduction of the Saab 900 marks the culmination of the most ambitious automobile development ever undertaken by Sweden's Saab-Scania Group. Starting with the tough objective of building a new, larger Saab with good performance and even better handling, roadholding, comfort and safety levels than the 99, Saab designers and engineers spent untold manhours from concept to finished product in developing the new model. The result in a nutshell: A Saab which has been redesigned from the front seats forward; is 8.4 inches longer and of even more sturdy design than the Saab 99, but which still retains about the same weight and economy and has even better handling characteristics.

The Saab 900 EMS shows the result with its longer front end and more modern styling. The EMS has been hailed by automotive experts the world over as a true sports sedan, a car combining handling and performance with excellent seating comfort and lots of passenger space. Powering the Saab 900 EMS is a fuelinjected two-liter overhead cam engine developing 115 hp (SAE net). ForWest Coast and Rocky Mountain states the engine is equipped with the Lambda Guard emissions system with three-way catalyst, and in that version develops 110 hp (SAE net).

The Saab 900 series will be available in November through some 335 U.S. Saab dealers.
