DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCING THE 16-VALVE, INTERCOOLED SAAB TURBO.
IN ANY OTHER CAR,THIS MUCH POWER WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE.
Remember muscle cars? \"Getting rubber\"? \"Slam shifting”?\" Blowing someone’s doors off?
Screech. Graunch. Whoosh. The golden songs of a golden era. Tributes to the prodigality of power in the hands of impetuous youth. Redolent of nostalgia. And like many things nostalgic, out of place in the present.
Now that gas is back, so is muscle. Only today, you have a choice. You can once again buy a car that uses it frivolously.
Or you can buy the Saab 900 Turbo.
The new 16-valve, inter-cooled Saab Turbo engine is fuel-efficient, like the first and second generation Saab turbocharged engines that preceded it. While being considerably more powerful at the same time.
Having four valves per cylinder (with dual-overhead camshafts) helps the new Saab Turbo engine inhale and exhale easier. It enables the spark plug to be located at the center of the hemispherical combustion chamber.
In strictly practical terms, this means combustion is more complete and efficient. So compression can be raised without raising the octane of the fuel needed to achieve it.
Increased compressionmeans better throttle response. With no penalty in fuel economy. Both mean greatly increased driving enjoyment.
Intercooling lowers the temperature of the air mass compressed by the turbocharger. Which means boost can be increased (it has) and, along with it, power (it has too).
The intercooling and 16-valve head combine to produce the kind of mid-range torque you may remember from the halycon days of the muscle car.

But, unlike the power of yesteryear, the power of the Saab Turbo has been harnessed to be of maximum practical advantage in a real world.
How to put power to its best use. iMaking a car go faster used to entail nothing more complex than squeezing into it the largest engine and carburetors that would fit.
With steering that was often, to be charitable, a bit vague. Tiny drum brakes. A chassis that was nothing if not flexible.
And a body that had little crashworthiness going for it other than sheer mass.
Saab thinks other things should precede power before it can be put to responsible uses.
First, you should build a body that is not only rigid, but safe.
Under that, you should put the best shock absorbers available (gas filled) so the power can be transmitted to the road no matter what kind of road it’s transmitted to.
The brakes should be more than equal to the power they’re meant to hold in check. Four-wheel disc brakes.
These brakes should ride within wheels and tire capable of resolute traction. Light-alloy, 15\" wheels with low profile, high-performance radials.
Steering should be precise, channeling power towards its proper course.
And power should be transmitted through the front wheels, wffiere it can do the most practical good.
All these things make a Saab the perfect environment for an engine like the inter-cooled, 16-valve Turbo engine being introduced in 1985.
Of course, if you look for them, you will find more powerful cars on the market.
But none that use their power so wisely or as well.
