Car Forum / Saab Cars / February 2005What happened for SVC?
What happened for Saab Variable Compression engine? It was a topic for discussion some 5 years ago, and I believe they said it should be in production around 2005. I think it received some awards and stuff. I have not heard about it for long time, what happened to it? Wasn't feasible after all or what? BR:Z > What happened for Saab Variable Compression engine? GM killed it due to cost. It is much cheaper to use one of the traditional and boring GM global engines.

The SVC was, as far as I remember, 5cyl 1.6L 225bhp engine with excellent economy, it was fitted to 9-5 test cars. Last I heard was that Saab was trying to solve noise problems in early engines. There was a lot of info and excitement on Saab's web site, but it suddenly went quiet... |
