Home > Saab 9000
Saab 9000, an automobile made by Saab, was released in 1984. The chassis was common with the Fiat Croma, Lancia Thema and Alfa Romeo 164. The Fiat and Lancia looked quite much like the Saab, but the Alfa Romeo only used the same chassis. That they were very similar led that many parts can be used regardless of brand. The doors from the Fiat Croma fit directly on the 9000, but are lighter, probably due to less side impact protection. Also the windscreen from the Croma can be used on the 9000.The cW value was 0.32. The design was done by Giorgetto Giugiaro.
The first year the only engine available was a watercooled 4 cylinder with a turbocharger, at 1985 cc and double overhead camshafts, 16 valves, giving 176 hp (131 kW).
