Saab Sonnet 1970

The Saab Sonnet, introduced in 1970, was a notable addition to the range of the Swedish automaker Saab. This model, which stemmed from Saab's ambition to create a sporty, compact car, had its origins in the 1960s. The Sonnet was designed as a lightweight coupe with a unique body shape that offered a combination of aerodynamics and style. This car used a V4 engine, which offered a good balance between performance and efficiency, and was equipped with front-wheel drive, a feature that Saab would later continue to use in many of its models.

The Saab Sonnet was characterized by its innovative design and was one of the first models to underscore the brand's sporting aspirations. With its low weight and agility, the Sonnet found its way to car enthusiasts looking for a unique driving experience. The use of fiberglass in the body provided a modern look while helping to reduce weight. The Sonnet remained in production until 1974, producing only a limited number of examples in total. This car represented an interesting period in Saab history and remains a fascinating choice for collectors. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend you come to the viewing day.
