The Saab 93 was a car model from the Swedish manufacturer Saab .
It was presented in August 1955, equipped with a longitudinally installed three - cylinder two-stroke engine with 748 cm³ displacement and a 3-speed gearbox with freewheel . The 33 hp engine was a design by the former head of the development and testing department at DKW ( Auto Union ), Hans Müller , and was developed and manufactured together with Heinkel . The torsion bars and swing arm axles of the original model have been replaced by coil springs and double wishbones in the front and a rigid axle in the rear.
It was the first Saab vehicle to be exported, with the majority going to the United States. Of the Saab 93, 52,731 units were built from December 1955 to February 1960.
The most important stages of the model development:
On September 3, 1957, the Saab 93 B was presented. It had an undivided windscreen, attachment points for front seat belts, flashing lights instead of winkers and higher-mounted seats. From 1958 the 750 GT model was produced, which had an engine that had been upgraded to 45 hp. In autumn 1959 the Saab 93 F appeared. The F in the model name stood for the doors that were now hinged at the front (Swedish fram ). The 93 F was produced for half a year and only because the tools for the new rear section were not yet available.
In March 1960, the successor Saab 96 was presented with an enlarged rear.
