Saw a die-cast model of one once, so I will recuse myself. They looked pretty zoomie from the rear.

Love the BAT car and the Saab. Man, that Talbot was seriously beaten with an ugly stick! Yikes!

”Ursaab” 92, 1949? (I googled “the first Saab” and got lucky)

“Project 92, being next in production sequence after the Saab 91, a single engine trainer aircraft.”

“Because the car had to have a very low drag coefficient,0.3, which even today is considered very impressive, aerodynamic tests were part of the early evaluations.”

50% less drag than other cars.

Only 1 of the 16 engineers on the design team had a drivers license.

“Using some carpenters from Motala, a full size mock-up in alder wood was built in the spring of 1946. The model was coloured black using shoe polish.”

A front-mounted, transverse, 2-cylinder, 2- stroke with 18 hp.

“The Ursaab was driven over 530,000 kilometers (330,000 mi), typically in utter secrecy, and usually on narrow and muddy forest roads and in early mornings or late nights.”

Ah HA! The first rally Saab! I love learning new things!

Yes, early Saab. The photo I posted said 1946, but that's so soon after WWII that I don't believe it... at least for a production car. Good work spotting it as a Saab you two.
