Saab EV-1

It was a wedge shaped 2 + 2 sports coupé body style based on the Saab 900 Turbo 16v.

The design was made by Björn Envall, and the metal work was done by Leif Mellberg included features such as a solar powered interior cooling fan, with 66 solar cells mounted in the glass roof.

The front and rear bumpers (fenders) were designed to absorb impacts and revert to their original shape.

The speedometer lights only illuminate the area around the current speed; a modified version of this feature has been incorporated as standard on later production Saab models.

The windshield is wrap around and very deep and steeply inclined for the era, while the A-pillar has a much more vertical angle, providing excellent driver visibility.
