COLLISION-PROOF SAFETY CAGE Saab combines performance with safety A COMMITMENT to even greater road safety is the hallmark of this year’s Saab 900 line. Despite this renewed emphasis on safety however, the superior performance traditionally syn- onymous with Saab has not taken a back seat in 1988. Front-wheel drive, a collision- proof safety cage and dise brakes on all four wheels have tong been standard safety features on all Saab models. In 1988 the manu- facturer has upgraded the braking system of the 900 line to include power-assisted ventilated front disc brakes formerly reserved for the upscale 9000 series. The new brakes, made from a long-lasting semi-metallic material, are designed to withstand a greater number of high-speed stops. They are also easier to service and more resistant to corrosion. The new system also includes a rear-wheel handbrake with a tighter lock grip at all parking angles. At the heart of the 1988 Saab 900 Turbo series is a technologi- cally-advanced 16-valve, intercool- ed turbocharged engine, generating an imposing 160 hp at 5500 r.p.m. All Saab 900 Turbos come equip- ped with this high-performance power plant, to let them pull away from the competition. A new water-cooled bearing housing in the turbocharger substantially increases service life. 29 ~ Friday, August 5 , 1988 - North Shore News Photo submitted THE SAAB Turbo 9000 is one of the world’s fastest production sedans, To match handling to power, the 1988 Turbo 9000 has been designed with a revolutionary new ABS3 anti-lock braking system, the first fully-integrated braking device for front-wheel vehicles.
