In the early 1970s, Saab launched the 99 EMS. Until the 99 Turbo appeared, the EMS was not only the top model from Saab's own assembly plant in Trollhättan, but also the sportiest.

In addition to its commercial success, the 99 EMS also made a name for itself in rallies and shaped a whole generation together with its infamous driver at the wheel, Stig Blomqvist, the real and original Stig!

While the virtuous driver was crowned world champion with Audi, he immortalized Saab in the dust.

From the eye-catching Saab 96 V4 to the Group B cars driven by Stig, the 99 EMS holds a special place in our hearts.

If we close our eyes, we can see it clearly. A car with a sledge appears out of nowhere, lifting the snow as if an avalanche were being triggered. For a brief moment, we see the colorful stripes of the Swedish flag on the black background of the 99. The EMS acronym is emblazoned on the cold and bare surface, and in a flash the car has disappeared. Like a clap of thunder over the snow, we are amazed by its speed. Of course, this is not just fiction, but took place at the Swedish Rally, culminating in a home victory in 1977.

And for all those who don’t believe in home advantage: Stig has won the Rally Sweden 7 times and finished second 7 times!
