The first automobile brand to use turbocharger

2023-01-03

The household turbocharged engine recognized by the market was first used by SAAB, but in fact, General Motors was the first company to apply turbocharging technology to automobiles.


The OldsmobileJetfire produced by General Motors in 1962 was equipped with a 3.52-liter all aluminum V8 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 215 horsepower,and the Chevrolet Corvair in the same year was equipped with a 2.4-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder turbocharged engine. Moreover, the BMW 2002 turbo,which was launched in 1973, and the Porsche 911 (930TURBO), which was launched in 1975, are much earlier than Saab.


However, these car dealers before Saab only tried to install them. Due to their immature technology, huge vibration and turbine delay,they were very prone to unexpected dangers when passing a bend. They were not recognized by the masses and soon stopped production.


Saab is the first company to overcome these problems. In other words, Saab is the first manufacturer to create a turbocharged engine car recognized by the masses.


In 1976, Saab successfully applied turbocharging technology to Saab99 Turbo for the first time.This time, Saab has made the application of turbocharging technology in automotive engines truly mature, announced the birth of a new era in the automotive industry,and led the industry trend.
