Has anyone seen a Saab 9-1 which is not exclusive to renders, drawings and speculation? I think anyone, not even within their own Saab. But the entry model of the company to appear soon, it could be something more than that. It could also be a race car.
Racing, and nothing less than the WRC, World Rally Championship. It appears also that the 9-1 is one of the pet projects of Victor Muller, Spyker boss and Saab, will also be the way that indirectly Spyker makes its reappearance in the racing world. Spyker is in talks with the WRC for the 9-1 to compete at the highest level of rally.
The idea is to compete in part in some races in 2012, then do it in full in 2013, provided that suits the car best. Remains to be seen even if the 9-1 will come out sometime and Müller and races ... think that it is to have vision.
On the positive side, if the movement goes as planned, then what better opportunity than this for the 9-1 band as water. With race cars almost similar to the street, and the Saab name has been done within the rally, in the past, the 9-1 would be the key to the brand back to the races and good publicity for the brand and for the new car. We look forward to how to develop this new project of Saab.
