The Saab 91 Concept, first presented back in April, is a study of a B-segment model which is being developed by an online community called 'Saab 91 Petition and Support Group', which is adopting a Open Source-inspired model.
The car - which is targeted to compete agains the Mini in the premium B-segment - has compact dimensions (3,870 mm long, 1,420mm tall and 1,700 mm wide) and short overhangs.
The overall look deliberately avoids any rétro element, adopting the current design language of the brand, inspired by concept cars such as the BioHybrid and Aero X.
As designer Fabio Ferrante explains, the front end expresses pure aggressivity, without distorting Saab's design cues.
The main characteristic is that the grille nad the headlights are integrated into a single element, visually contrasted by the bottom air intakes.
In the side view, the dynamic character is underlined by the muscular shoulders and wheelarches and by the sculpted panels, while the DLO (Day Light Opening) has shapes inspired by the 9-X BioHybrid Concept.
The rear end is characterized by the arrow-shaped lighting units, which give the car a distinctive lighting signature in the dark.
The interior, currently under development, will be strongly inspired by the aeronautical theme.
