DESCRIPTION:
IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY YOU’LL EVER NEED TO DRIVE A CAR THAT CAN GO 132 MPH, DAY AND NIGHT, FOR 62,000 MILES STRAIGHT. BUT JUST IN CASE YOU DO.
Late last year, three turbocharged Saab 9000’s were taken right off the assembly line in Sweden and shipped to the Alabama Interna
tional Motor Speedway in Talladega, Alabama. Where under the scrutiny of international racing authorities, they were then driven at top speed for 20 days straight.
This highly unusual test, which Swedish engineers affectionately called “The Long Run” consumed 21,000 gallons of gas. Used over 100 sets of tires. Thoroughly wore out 32 drivers.
And set or broke 21 world and international records.
Not least of which was the highest speed ever recorded for a standard production car driven this distance: 100,000 kilometers at 132.7
mph (including stops for gas, tires and maintenance).*
And as for the cars themselves? Well, after completing the equivalent of 5 years of normal driving under utterly abnormal levels of stress, all three were running quite well.
Of course, no one would suggest the results of this test be applied directly to your everyday driving circumstances. Working with the Garrett Corporation, makers of the 9000’s new water-cooled turbocharger, Pirelli Tires and Shell Oil, this NASCAR-sanctioned test was conducted under highly-controlled conditions.
Still, the fact remains that not one, but all three Saab 9000’s finished. Which would seem to say something about their performance and endurance abilities. And it certainly offers you an amusing opportunity.
Because the next time someone tries to justify the price of some other European sports sedan, say a BMW or Mercedes, by explaining that it’s worth it in the long run, you can now respond with feigned innocence:
Oh, and just how long a run might SAAB that be?
