The Saab 91 Concept is a study of a B-segment model which is being developed for the Online Community 'Saab 91 Petition and Support Group'. An Open Source-inspired model.
The car, designed in 2008, was targeted to compete against 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.
The front end expresses pure aggressivity, without distorting Saab's design cues. The main element is that the grille and the headlights are integrated into a single element, visually contrasted by the air intakes of the bumper.
In side view, the dynamic character is underlined by the muscular shoulders, the wheel arches and by the sculpted panels, while the DLO (Day Light Opening) has shapes inspired by the 9-X BioHybrid Concept.
The rear end is dominated by the arrow-shaped lighting units, which give the car a distinctive lighting signature in the dark.
