Showed the pictures of the car to my dear friend Björn who was the Design chief at SAAB the man behind the 99, 900 and 9000 cars today and he just loved it. He was partly responsible in hiring Mr. Michael Maurer to SAAB as his predecessor av Design Chief, and later he designed our great machines at Porsche. Björn and I agreed on the lack of aerodynamic design on the rear since I have never had a car getting so dirty all the time. Maybe they where not given enough time in the wind tunnels? has anyone tried to change the roofline spoiler or added wind twirl-generators like the ones used on the rear parts of the canard wings on some fighter jets?
Classic aggressive german with the stripes. The white 3M wrap inside the rear light clusters gives the car some new swain features. the construction of the rear lights looks a little like MB 190 in the 1980ies with the self cleaning 3D design.
The sound design is made by Swedish Racing exhaust specialist Ferrita. The bulky rear silencers (BIG and heavy, also muting ALL engine sound) had to go guess I saved 15 kg with the small tiny ones and the quad exhaust pipes. There is no "flap" system just pure breathing in conjunction with a KN air filter. Soon the car will get some healthy American juice in the control system. That will be a blast. Who needs a BIG end heavy engine when the same work can be done more efficient and with a better handling car.

@goron59 please show us what You have done to Your Turbopowered car. Seams like there are some tender toes in the Macan Turbo world. We all know You opted for the twin turbo configuration. So go ahead and print that with Your DYMO. 450 is perfect the same amout of BHP in the PP version.

You are definately missing a Ram air scoop on the bonnet.

Oh I get it now, you allude to putting labels on my car. No. Not really. I just put fuel in and drive it. Not into modding.
I quite like your stripes though.

I built this one 8 years ago. The original car was never saved by the SAAB Corporation. To my knowledge this is the only replica of this car model that Stig Blomqvist drove in the 78 Lombard RAC Rally. This was the very first time a Turbopowered car entered a World rally Championship rally. He retired with a broken driveshaft just like his team mate Per Eklund. But just a few months later Stig won the Swedish Rally ´79 in a notchback 99 Turbo. The green car behind my 99 Turbo is my unique Saab 96 MonteCarlo V4 in Rally specs.

Aftermarket RAM induction via Scoops or NACA ducts are prohibited in my country but I have heard the UK soon non-EU regulations are pretty slack. Good luck. But really we already have air travelling inside our bonnets on all Macans.
Did notice that all the "enhancements" ideas come from people with the HI-PO Twin Turbo cars. Interesting nothing from Diesel or 2.0l Turbo guys...... Just a thought.

Love the pics and history of your Saabs Trued. I'm a great Saab fan having owned three, a 96, and 99 and 900 Turbos. Really good design philosophy and, at that time, very good build quality. It's a great shame that Saab were unable to continue without the disastrous intervention of GM. Who knows what they would be producing today?
