1949
Saab 92
Designed by an aircraft team with no automotive experience, the Saab 92 was completely unlike any other car of 1949. Its aeroplane-inspired teardrop monocoque body had a drag coefficient of just 0.32 — an astonishing figure for 1949 — and its front-wheel-drive layout was ahead of the industry by a decade.
