Description
The Saab 96 & V4: A Rally Icon's Story In the world of motorsport, few cars have achieved the same level of success as the front-wheel-drive Saab 96. With its incredible handling and traction, this car dominated events in Europe and beyond, earning a reputation for its reliability and performance. The big change came in 1967, when the 96 was updated to become the V4. Although it looked similar on the outside, the new engine provided a significant boost in power. Works cars continued to compete in carefully chosen events, but eventually became outdated as more specialized rivals emerged. However, the success of the 96 and V4 paved the way for future Saab models, including the larger and more powerful 99 and 99 Turbo. This book tells the complete story of the Saab 96 & V4, a car that proved that front-wheel-drive could be a winning formula in the right hands.
