Saab Monster

Saab MonsterThe Saab Monster was an experimental car made by Saab in 1959. It consisted of a Saab 93 with all excess weight removed. Even the bonnet was replaced by a plastic one to reduce weight. The engineers then installed two transverse 748 cc two-stroke, three cylinder engines. This gave the car well over 100 hp and a top speed of 196 km/h (achieved at Såtenäs airfield). The low weight and the drop shape of the body gave the rear end a tendency to become airborne when aproaching the top speed.

The Monster is now on display in the Saab museum in Trollhättan.
