High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Saab Monster was an experimental car made by Saab in 1959. This project was part of Saab's flirtation with motorsport and the need to derive more power from their two-stroke powerplant. It consisted of a 'Toreador Red' Saab 93 with all excess weight removed. Even the bonnet was replaced by a plastic one, in order to reduce weight. The engineers then installed two transverse 748 cc two-stroke, three cylinder engines, in a 'split in-line' configuration, driving the front wheels through a modified clutch and gearbox assembly. There were two distributors and an enlarged radiator.
