Saab was long a company of automotive industry firsts, and not just with the heated seats. In 1978 it became the first carmaker to mass produce turbocharged engines and that changed the world.
One quirky Saab feature came along in 1993 and became synonymous with the company’s cars – the night panel. Another bit of fighter jet inspiration, at the touch of a button all the lights inside the car would turn off apart from the speedo in the instrument panel, aiding night vision.
