Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What does the acronym SAAB stand for?

SAAB stands for 'Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget', which translates to 'Swedish Aeroplane Company'. The brand started in military aviation in 1937 before diversifying into automobiles in 1947.

Why were Saab ignition keys placed between the front seats?

This peculiarity came from Saab's aeronautical heritage. In aircraft, the ignition controls are usually located in the center of the cockpit. This position also helped prevent knee injuries in the event of a frontal crash.

What innovation did Saab first introduce to the automotive industry?

Saab was the first manufacturer to offer heated seats as standard in 1971 on the Saab 99. This innovation was particularly appreciated in the harsh Scandinavian climate.

Why do we say that Saabs were 'born from the wind'?

This marketing slogan referred to Saab's aerodynamic expertise from aviation. Saab cars had particularly low drag coefficients for the time, such as the 1949 Saab 92 with a Cd of just 0.30.

What is special about the Saab 96 two-stroke engine?

The Saab 96 used a two-stroke engine that required an oil-gasoline mixture. Drivers therefore had to add special oil to the fuel tank. This very lightweight engine allowed for excellent weight distribution and remarkable rally performance.
