Saab 900

There are 3,907 of them on Dutch roads, built between 1982 and 1998, weighing anywhere from 1,224 to 1,535 kg. They share a name and not much else. Here is the spread.

Power per tonne

Where it sits.

Median
76.3kW/t

Half of every 900 on the road is below this. Power divided by mass in running order — the one figure that compares across model and era.

Against the fleet
81th percentile

A typical 900 has more power per tonne than 81% of the 8,248,168 combustion cars in the Netherlands.

Your own car

This is the average. Yours is not.

Everything above describes 3,907 cars sharing a name, spanning 1982 to 1998 and 1,224–1,535 kg. Your 900 has one engine, one mass and one registration. Put the plate in and the answer is about that car rather than about the name on it.

Method

Where these numbers come from.

SourceRDW open data: the vehicle register and the fuel table carrying net maximum power, joined per vehicle.
Sample300 Saab 900s drawn from five spread windows across the 3,907 registered, because reading the register in stored order returns clumps of one variant. The figures above are that sample, not a census — treat the median as reliable and the extremes as indicative.
Who is left outNothing — every car in this sample burns fuel and nothing else.
The 0–100Integrated from power, mass and drag: traction-limited then power-limited, with a torque interruption for anything with gears. Checked against 18 cars with published factory figures, 7.6% mean error. It does not know which wheels are driven, because the register does not record it.
