Saab Sonett V4 - in the middle 1968 - 1969
When the standard models of the Saab 95 and 96 got the V4 engine, it was obvious that the same engine would also sit in the Sonett II named "V4". It was not easy to fit in with an engine that the car was not designed for from the start. GAS, Gunnar A Sjögren was given the task of redesigning the hood so that the higher V4 engine would be accommodated. He solved the task elegantly and if you look carefully, the elevation of the hood is slightly shifted to the right to disturb the driver's view as little as possible.
