About the Saab 99 Turbo Stig Blomqvist Black MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Saab 99 Turbo in Black carries Stig Blomqvist's name on one of the first mainstream turbocharged production cars, launched in 1978. A street-trim diecast rather than a rally livery, it marks the road car that brought forced induction within reach of everyday Saab buyers.

Turbocharging in road cars was still a novelty in 1978, and Saab's 99 Turbo did more than most to make it a mainstream feature rather than a motorsport curiosity.

A Street-Trim Diecast Tied to a Rally Name

Unlike the rally-liveried 99 EMS models in the same range, this diecast reproduces the road-going Turbo in standard ride height and factory trim, without the auxiliary lamps or mud flaps a competition car would carry. Stig Blomqvist's association with this particular colourway ties the road car back to his rally reputation without pretending it is itself a rally entry, a distinction worth understanding before comparing it directly to the works cars. Black paint shows off the Turbo's boxy, upright hatchback lines cleanly, and the model's cabin, visible through opening doors, reflects the era's straightforward dashboard layout rather than any rally-specific stripping out. Wheels sit on standard road rubber, matching the everyday character of the car this diecast actually depicts.

The Turbo That Brought Forced Induction to the Mainstream

Saab's 99 Turbo arrived at a moment when turbocharging still carried a whiff of motorsport exotica, largely confined to racing applications and a handful of low-volume specials, and Saab's decision to offer it in a genuinely everyday hatchback helped normalise the technology for buyers who had never considered a turbocharged car before. That combination, mainstream body style plus genuinely novel drivetrain technology, is exactly why the 99 Turbo still gets discussed decades later, independent of any rally connection at all.

A Companion Piece to Saab's Rally Story

Positioned beside the works rally liveries in the same range, this road-going Turbo supplies the technological backstory, the turbocharged engine that eventually found its way, reinforced and reworked, into the cars that actually won rallies.
