This is not a 900 Turbo 16S. Its a 900S.

[@mattiasottosson6368]

Absolutely one of the best cars ever made!!! So beautiful and cool! Also very useful with lot of space in the trunk. Saab 900 ❤️

[@autobahnspeed4396]

I agree with you 100%. I love the unique design and it's very practical for everyday driving!

[@dutchcculture]

Looks great! One of the coolest 90s cars.

[@autobahnspeed4396]

Very true, the design of the Saab 900 is absolutely unique and I love it! Good luck with your channel by the way! ;)

[@dutchcculture]

@@autobahnspeed4396 thanks! You to :)

[@kekchup6288]

Probably more a 80s car

[@Attack-fb5rj]

I would say saab 900 is the best car ever made. Looks, reliability, economy, handling and of course as a bonus for lucky ones, a turbo. Have driven these quite a bit, and enjoyed every second. Edit: cargo space and seat comfort also top notch. Also im biased to 90s cars because of their superior feel compared to anything newer.

[@1873Winchester]

I got a 900 T16 and I love it

[@zoltanvarga1606]

Nice motor. Thank you for the review. This is actually a 900 S and not a 900 Turbo 16 S. The 900 S is a low pressure turbo (LPT) without intercooler, APC and solenoid valves. Power: 145 bhp. Torque: 202 Nm. Boost pressure is around 0.45 bar which corresponds to the reading on your later fitted auxiliary boost gauge on the left side. The 900 S didn't have a boost gauge from factory either. On the right side, that's an oil temperature gauge. Owned one of these myself until very recently. Great motors all of them, no matter if 8 or 16 valve, injected, low or high pressure turbo.

[@zoltanvarga1606]

I just watched your other video and it seems that you have an intercooler and also the APC. I think this car was modified to be a full pressure turbo which is quite common among enthusiasts. However, the boost pressure should then be higher, 0.75-0.80 bar maybe. It's weird. Great car nonetheless. Like the colour too. Also, looking at the rpms you're doing on the motorway, I'd say that the primary drive has also been upgraded from Type 6 to 7 at least or maybe even 8. The drivetrain must be in good condition if you can push it that easily over 200 km/h with nearly 500k kms on the clock.

[@ThePrissy11]

Please. No turbo in the sense of the word.

[@krro6399]

Thanks for the notes, now I don't have to 😃

[@stevenp.sparks2953]

900S had no turbo from the factory, only 900 Turbo models did. Someone added a turbo to this one, hence the aftermarket boost gauge.

[@zoltanvarga1606]

@@stevenp.sparks2953 This is definitely true if we're considering the North American market. However, in Europe the 900S was a low perssure turbo as described above. I owned one until very recently. It not only had turbo, but the SPG(North America)/Aero(Europe) bodykit from factory as well.

[@zakris]

My dad had a Saab 900 S 1992 in the exact same colour with dark grey velour and five doors. I learn how to drive in it and I loved it! Thank you for the video!

[@philliplyn2692]

Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work would love to get my hands on one it’s worth every penny 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@formxshape]

Pure art.

[@carterchiaramonte7584]

Awesome well done video, thanks for shedding light on saab

[@autobahnspeed4396]

You are welcome. Glad you liked my video, thank you for watching! :)

[@earthbarnes6694]

I miss my Saab😭

[@TheBTG88]

I love my 1991 900 SPG (Special Performance Group in the US) - same as a full-pressure turbo 16 valve Aero in Europe.

[@rgaik11]

Love Saab 900 classic! I happen to have one too :)

[@briantomkins1284]

Brought my saab 900i convertible as a graduation present to myself from uni... remember when telling my father i brought a car without him and his reply was better not be one of those bloody saabs! 🤣 still have it today done 435,000kms turn the key and it always starts... dont use it as a daily anymore but will never part with it though... still looks so good at the beach with the roof down and there isnt 50 other people sitting in the same car in traffic! 😀 have to say it is the most cheapest and reliable car i have ever owned... do the oil services myself and changed the breaks twice in its life and one canvas roof which was easy as to do... ive owned the car so long but i dont think i have even spent 7grand on up keep over its years of service.. brilliantly built cars that were well ahead of their time.. remember they were deaigned in the late 1960s only geting 2 minor cosmetic upgrades until production ending in 1993. 👍👍

[@autobahnspeed4396]

Still driving your Saab with 435.000km, well done!

[@christopherkelly577]

SAAB were and always will be cool. Fast, reliable, great to drive. Cheap as chips now. Shame they're no longer around 😔

[@TheSebiestor]

for one worth buying not as cheap as you would think

[@mainiotaainetta]

Saab 900's goes nicely and I only driven '83 non turbo carburettor.

[@lars-andersjohansson6407]

My dream car 1989 and Alfa 75 twin spark. 💘

[@dissociative7573]

I have one, but 1990, great car. Very good performance!

[@yinghang4866]

Wow still great condition 👏 👌

[@ebk60]

You can lower the driver seat if you think's it was to high and never never ever pedal to metal in the first gear from traffic lights....

[@pilotgrrl1]

Nice car! My first car was a used Saab 900S. It was a great car and it had the most comfortable seats of any car I've owned. I miss it.

[@janvandekerk6877]

THE SAAB 900 S TURBO IS A TIMELESS AND CLASSICALLY ELEGANT DESIGN .

[@1873Winchester]

Is this car a factory full pressure turbo or did it have it added after the fact? I am wondering because AFAIK a factory turbo would have the boost gauge in the main instrument cluster and not on the three extra dials (which I also expected to be located down where the stereo is and the dials being down there).

[@xfi321]

Lekker! Danjeveil!

[@autobahnspeed4396]

Graag gedaan! :)

[@steventompkins5357]

If Carlsberg made cars

[@davidk8457]

I had a 1987 900 SPG and let me tell you ... it was a chick magnet ... now I'm 64 and sure wish I had that car today :(

[@jibberism9910]

I'm not much of a car freak, but I love Saab design.

[@ralphneely2550]

.... 😀 I Had A Saad 900s And It Was An Awesome Car 💯✔‼️

[@rickyhailpern1866]

Are you kidding!!!! I own a 89" 900 Turbo Convertible......Awesome!!! SAAB ON!!!!

[@TheSebiestor]

i've owned 4 Saab 900s, the first thing i noticed on yours, no electric sun roof? I always thought they were standard, especially on the later year models. dont ever be tempted with a convertible, the road noise is awful. It will make you realise how quiet the hard top version is. i've been in noisier modern cars than Saab 900s. If you look down the body, you will see Saabs are torpedo/boat shaped. That is the aircraft engineering design for the car to cut through the air. the front windshield is also wrapped around to make the air flow around the car the windshield is also very sloped to make the air flow up and over the car. all this design was to make the car resistant to wind noise. All lost on the convertibles

[@autobahnspeed4396]

Great information. Thank you for sharing!

[@PandaPi123]

What is the car you sit in at the beginning of the clip, i notice the seats shape are quite similar to Saab but look more modern.

[@autobahnspeed4396]

It's the BMW Z4 E89, also featured in my videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqmxpGlngsyNq6c

[@ronhernandez3629]

Completely glossed over the fact it had adjustable heated seats in 1991 (a SAAB innovation).

[@autobahnspeed4396]

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing this information!

[@leo197777]

Good video quality while driving to get an idea, rare to be reported.

[@insider8888]

Самый лучший дизайн среди всех саабов, смотрится просто бомба

[@earthbarnes6694]

Regular people drove Saabs...im one of them and i know of more regular people that drove Saab

[@diegocorradini7072]

Io ho la 900 ng del 1995 🤩

[@ThePrissy11]

Amazing how little you know about this car to do a vid.

[@autobahnspeed4396]

Sorry I'm not a Saab expert, just like to drive fast on the Autobahn and got the chance to drive this car. :)

[@fonziebulldog5786]

From Sweden and owned 2 Saab Turbo and its rather funny that people these days think they are cool when they didnt buy enough of them back in the days !?.

[@autobahnspeed4396]

Lot's of lawyers and doctors driving Saab's here in Holland in the days, they were pretty expensive. I'm sure lots of people wanted to drive a Saab, but not sure everyone could afford one.. ;)

[@alexmeyer0582]

455 000 km😳

[@sts973007]

FYI GMC PUT SAAB UNDER , OTHERWISE GOOD CONTENT, ALSO SAAB BUILT THE BEST FWD TURBO CARS EVER !!!

[@philliplyn2692]

True facts hopefully everyone pays attention one of my favorite cars 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@a.r1941]

Das hier gezeigte Fahrzeug ist bei weitem kein 900 Turbo 16S😢😢😢 wenn man keine Ahnung hat sollte man sowas nicht vorstellen alles falsch😅 zwischen diesen Saab 900 den Sie hier vorstellen und den Saab 900 Turbo 16S sind es Welten

[@diondenooijer5505]

Wij zijn de 2e eigenaar geweest van deze auto, met dit kenteken

[@diondenooijer5505]

De tweede antenne was van de carkit

[@netmanswe]

Normally you shouldn’t be able to change gears as you did during the walkthrough without having the ignition on.

[@THEREAL_GZUS]

Saab’s do this lol

[@autobahnspeed4396]

The owner told me to put the Saab 900 in reverse to start the ignition, otherwise there was a chance that the Saab would not start. This was also new to me...

[@doedsstierna]

The interior is a lot more robust than later Saab models. I have a 04 9-3 and honestly, the interior is cheap and almost falling apart.

[@sandor7594]

More than 150 are life-threatening. I never drivre at high speed

[@greniepage5775]

Thought you might at least show the audience what its like to be at the wheel of a very fast car.. Autobahn ?

[@jesusramonsuarezlopez9892]

Una pena. La desaparición de esta marca ... distinta en todo a las demás marcas existentes .....yo tengo el segundo SAAB Y TENDRIA EL TERCERO ... YA NO PUEDE SER. A NO SER QUE ALGUIEN LA PONGA DE NIEVL EN EL MERCADO ... OK 👍

[@lars-andersjohansson6407]

Extra antenna. Mobile phone.

[@taurus66]

You have no idea about the history you shouldn’t make a video puntanamagon.
