The 900 turbo was the first volume seller of a turbo charged car. The UK advertising featured England's cricket star, Ian Botham who survived two 100mph crashes behind the wheel of a Saab!

1984 saw the introduction of the 16-valve DOHC B202 engine in Europe on the Saab 900. With a turbocharger and intercooler, it could produce 175 hp/129 kW in the Turbo 16 model (less for catalyst-equipped engines).
The Turbo 16 Aero [designated SPG, Special Performance Group in North American Markets] had a body kit allowing the car to reach 210 km/h (130 mph). A different grille and three-spoke steering wheel appeared across all models.
The connection between the side strips and the bumpers was changed, EMS and Turbo hatchbacks received a black trim piece between the taillights, and the GLi began replacing the twin-carburetted GLs. At the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show a two-door sedan was shown; it went on sale in January 1984, initially only as a GLi. The two-door sedan was only ever built at the Valmet plant in Finland.
