1981 SAAB 906 Turbo


Here’s another interesting Saab concept conceived and created by designer Leif Mellberg (the designer of Saab EV1 prototype, Saab 900 Speedster, Saab Mayo, and Saab Gullwing) – six-wheeler Saab 906 Turbo – Biggest Saab Ever Built. This is his project in 1984, and as a basis, served classic 1981 Saab 900 GLS. Basic Saan 900 was extended 60 cm, and Saab 906 measured a total of 530 cm. Additionally, Saab is in some places laterally extended, with 18 cm at its widest point. It looked incredibly long in profile.


Saab 906 had a full variety of gadgets, such as video, stereo system with 16 speakers, fridge/freezer/heating cabinets, Police radios, radar detectors, Cruise Computer, alarm, etc. – Probably, at the time, most well-equipped car in Sweden. The car did not serve as a transport vehicle like Leif originally planned and became a rolling advertisement for his company Mellbergs Custom.

Unfortunately, the car was fifteen years ago ended up at the junkyard in Varberg.
