The Saab 900 launched in 1978 as a development of the Saab 99, carrying the Swedish marque's signature turbocharging, front-wheel drive and safety obsession into a larger, more refined car. Across its 'classic' and 'new' generations it built a fiercely loyal following, prized for its turbo punch, distinctive design and thoughtful engineering.
Generations and evolution
Classic 900 (1979–1993)
The original hatchback and convertible, with turbo engines and the unmistakable Saab dash and ignition placement.
New 900 (1994–1998)
A redesigned, more conventional model based on the GM 9000/Opel platform, offered as a hatchback, convertible and sedan.
Design language and the silhouette
A tall, upright, aerodynamic shape with a distinctive greenhouse and Saab's purposeful, functional styling — the classic 900's wraparound glass and firm lines are unmistakable. Because we cut every Tinvibe piece from 2 mm steel to the car's true outline, the traits that make the Saab 900 recognizable — its roofline, stance and key details — are exactly what the metal keeps, in matte black powder coat across five sizes from 50 cm to 140 cm.
Production, sales and availability
Saab has not published a single combined 900 total across both generations, so we avoid quoting one; the classic turbo models are the most cherished.
The 900 in the Tinvibe collection
We cut the Saab 900 as a laser-cut steel silhouette in five sizes from 50 cm to 140 cm, finished in matte black powder coat. The designs below are drawn from our catalogue for this nameplate.
