Dust jacket notes: "Since the start of car manufacture in 1949 the Swedish SAAB Company have used motorsport in general, and rallying in particular, as an integral part of their product testing and development programme. This is the story of more than 30 years of achievement, on race tracks and rally special stages, from the ice-covered Arctic to the heat and dust of East Africa, which has helped to give SAAB a reputation for building some of the toughest cars in the world. Originally published in the Swedish language, this English language edition has been updated and considerably expanded by Ian Adcock to provide the first comprehensive record of SAAB's competition history from its inception to the intensely competitive 1980 season. At the same time it traces the influence which motorsport had on the development of the original Saab 92 and the 93, 96, 96 V4, 99 and 900-series cars which have succeeded it, and recalls the exploits of some brilliant drivers like Erik Carlsson, Carl-Magnus Skogh and Stig Blomqvist, who have done so much to glorify the image, not only of SAAB, but of rallying itself."

A classic car was born with the introduction of the Saab 900 in 1978. It had all the characteristics of earlier Saabs with their rally-winning reputation - in addition to being beloved family cars. These characteristics were refined further over the years within a practical and well-designed body. Engineers and designers at Saab Automobile had these standards to uphold when the new Saab 900 was conceived. This book chronicles the entire development process in the making of a new car: how they went about choosing technical solutions and why; test driving: designing, and pre-production preparations. Seldom has the birth of a car been described so meticulously.
