    A DRIVING ENVIRONMENT

    N

    A CLASS BY ITSELF

    When

    you re inside a Saab 900

    you re

    in

    another

    world.

    The seat

    ing is ample and

    sumptuous.

    Space

    is

    abundant.

    The ride

    is

    virtually

    silent. And as a finishing touch,

    even the air around you hasn t

    been overlooked. Saab engineers

    have developed an ingenious

    fully

    integrated heating and ventilation

    system.

    The secret

    lies

    in

    a special

    air

    filter

    that prevents virtually

    all

    small

    particles

    such as pollen and

    dust,

    from entering

    the car.

    We

    hardly

    have

    to

    point out what

    this means

    to

    every

    motorist,

    not

    to

    mention

    those

    who suffer

    The

    new

    front seats

    of

    the

    Saab

    900 are

    designed

    to

    meet the

    most

    stringent demands for both

    safety and comfort. The

    seat

    and

    backrest

    give

    superb support

    from

    the

    knees right

    up

    to

    the

    neck.

    The

    lumbar

    support is elastic and needs

    no

    manual re-setting.

    The sides of

    the

    backrest

    are

    deeper

    and distinc

    tively

    contoured. The

    front

    seats

    are

    fully reclining. The fram

    backrest has

    sturdy tubular

    bers

    and two reinforcing pl

    PERFORMANCE.

    YOU VE COME T THE RIGHT PLACE.

    Over

    the

    years.

    Saabs

    have

    carved

    out

    an

    excellent reputation for their

    stirring

    performance. Few cars

    can match

    Saabs combination

    of

    power,

    handling

    and

    comfort.

    The

    Saab 900 s

    arc

    the logical ex-

    tension of

    that

    tradition.

    They re

    built to

    withstand

    the

    hardships

    of

    rough terrain , blustery

    winds

    ,

    sharp turns and steep hills.

    The key

    ingredient

    behind the 900 s

    remarkable performance

    is consis-

    tency. You

    know

    exactly

    what

    to

    expect

    from

    a

    Saab 900; whether

    you re

    cornering, accelerating

    or

    braking. The road behavior never

    changes

    significantly. You

    these principles have been

    and

    honed

    to

    That

    pinion steering. The front wheels support

    almost

    60

    i of

    the

    weight for

    outstanding

    road contact. The

    ll1el

    tank

    is well forward

    and below the luggage compartment

    where

    it is protected

    by the rear axle

    and

    wheels.

    THE UNPARALLELED

    900

    SAAB TECHNOLOGY PUTS IT ALL TOGETHER

    The body. The development of the

    Saab safety

    body is based on sophis

    ticated "collision research".

    This has

    resulted in a

    body

    which, in

    addi

    tion

    to the

    traditional

    crumple zones

    at the front and rear, also incor

    porates numerous protective

    and

    reinforcing members.

    Consider the

    windshield

    pillars, for

    instance. U.S. regulations concerning

    their strength

    are the world's most

    stringent. The windshield pillars of

    the

    Saab

    900

    exceed those

    standards

    by40%.

    The anti-corrosion treatment car

    sive All

    Saab

    900 cars are subjected

    to a comprehensive

    anti-corrosion

    treatment

    at

    various stages

    of

    the

    manufacturing process.

    The

    engine

    . The basic engine of

    the

    Saab

    900 is

    an

    in-line 2-litre

    over

    head

    cam,

    liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder

    fuel injected engine. All versions are

    equipped

    with a

    three

    way

    catalyst

    and

    Lambda control system

    for low

    emissions.

    The

    rating

    of the engine is 110

    hp

    (81

    kW)

    SAE

    net

    at

    5500 rpm. The

    turbocharged

    version has

    a maximum

    output of135 hp (100 kW) SAE net

    at

    5000

    rpm.
