This arrangement gave the car about 138 bhp and a top speed of 196 km/h (achieved at Såtenäs airfield). This was a speed record but was not recognised on account of discrepancies in Scrutineering and recording. The low weight and the 'drop' or Aerofoil shape of the body gave the rear end a tendency to become airborne when approaching the top speed. The amount of Torque , coupled with Front-wheel Drive , also gave rise to severe Understeer . It was the combination of immense power and poor handling that gave rise to the name 'Monster'. The project was terminated because it proved impractical. The restored Saab Monster is now on display in the Saab Museum in Trollhättan . EXTERNAL LINKS |
