It’s time for video #2 in our special “Inside Saab” series of videos. A few weeks ago we brought you a ‘live’ crash test of a Saab 9-5 SportCombi. You got to see and hear what a crash test looks like without all the slo-mo images and with full sound, which is a pretty rare insight. Last week you got […]
Our parent company’s name change from Spyker Cars NV to Swedish Automobile NV becomes official today and they’ve launched a new corporate website to suit. The website is now live.

File this under “Things that blow your mind about how incredibly complex it is to design and build a motor vehicle”. Long title, I know. But this is one of the more mind-blowing insights I’ve had into the vehicle development process since being here at Saab. I’ve told people for some time now that there are no ‘fingersnap’ solutions when
You’re currently at Inside Saab – the inside perspective on what’s going on from day to day here at Saab HQ in Trollhattan.

Our next vehicle release is the much awaited Saab 9-5 SportCombi and earlier this week (not even two days ago as I write this),

If I asked you to guess the names of guys you’d find in the crash test building here at Saab, you’d probably answer Anders, or Fredrik, or similar names. Yesterday was a little different as the building was full
Hey all. I’ve spent the morning having my mind blown to pieces looking at some electrical integration setups that are used for testing cars, and testing changes to cars (from the electronics point of view). More on that later. Whilst exiting the building, I was confronted by a number of Saab 9-5 SportCombis in different colors, a few of which
The view from our office today includes a welcome to our Chinese partners, Pang Da.
The Saab 9-3 ePower Concept was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show in September 2010. Now, a fleet of vehicles based on that concept is under construction at Saab’s factory in Trollhattan. Off to the side of Saab’s main production line is a room called Frickeboa, which is a multi-purpose facility that we’ll learn a bit more about in
