On September 15, 2009, the second generation was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show and production began in June 2010. It is the first Saab to be launched under Spyker Cars' ownership, even though it was developed almost completely under GM's ownership.
Saab 9-5 2.0 TiD 158bhp (2010)
Originally, Saab light-weight bombers and fighter aircraft had only a model number. The name of the car, 95, was arrived at in the late 1990s. Until then, models were numbered 92, 93, 95, 96, 97, 99, 900, and 9000 in succession and housed at least the number 9. Approaching the new millennium, it was thought that big numbers were outdated for a reference to the future, considering the small numbers that were to succeed 2000. During what, in Sweden, is called a Fika-rast, a group of CAD-engineers (all but one with a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering) started a discussion. The series of numbers appeared exponential. It was proposed that raising the 9 to the power of five would exceed 9000. After some thought, the group agreed, and Stig Nodin delivered the proposal to management. Nine to the power of five is two small digits that represent the number 59049. That number houses the digit 9 twice and is less than the number of the very first Saab prototype car at 92001. Also, recently it has been found that 5 is a natural number for Saab: In post-war Sweden, 11 June 1947, Saab announced that they were going to start manufacturing a civil automobile. This car had to meet five requirements:
2010 Saab 9-5 Sedan SportCombi
Those were the requirements, but it was also noted that preferably it should be a low cost car to allow for a high production volume. This last addendum was never met. For the current 9-5, only the last three requirements are met.
