About the Saab 99 EMS #4 S. Blomqvist / H. Sylvan Rally Sweden Winner 1977 MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Saab 99 EMS reproduces Stig Blomqvist and Hans Sylvan's winning car from Rally Sweden 1977. Diecast construction captures rally-spec lighting and period sponsor graphics on the fuel-injected EMS trim, a genuine winner from a driver who later claimed the 1984 World Rally Championship with Audi.
Long before Stig Blomqvist became a world champion with Audi, he was already winning rallies on Swedish snow in a Saab.
Stig Blomqvist's Home-Turf Victory
Blomqvist's career stretched from Saab's factory rally program in the 1970s to the 1984 World Rally Championship title he won with Audi's four-wheel-drive Quattro, and this Rally Sweden win sits early in that arc. Driving the #4 Saab 99 EMS with Hans Sylvan calling the pace notes, Blomqvist took the outright win on home ground against a field that included his Saab teammate Per Eklund in the #1 car. The EMS badge marked Saab's fuel-injected performance trim, a step below the turbocharged 99 that would arrive a couple of years later, so this win came from a car relying on chassis balance and driver skill rather than boost pressure. For Saab, a home win at its national rally carried genuine promotional weight, proof that Swedish engineering could beat the field on Swedish roads.
MCG's Diecast Rendering of a Winning Rally Saab
MCG builds this 99 EMS in diecast at 1:18, with the auxiliary driving lights, raised stance, and mud flaps that mark it as a genuine rally car rather than a repainted street model. The tampo-printed sponsor graphics and start-number panels reproduce the winning livery cleanly, a detail that matters more on a car whose primary appeal is a specific result rather than a specific trim level. Displayed beside MCG's release of the #1 Eklund entry from the same event, this winning car completes a two-car snapshot of Rally Sweden 1977. Diecast construction gives the model real heft on the shelf, though as with most rally-liveried diecast, opening doors trade some panel-line sharpness for the mechanism that lets them swing at all.
