Specifications
Description
The Porsche 944 is a sports car built by Porsche from 1982 to 1991. The 944 was intended to last into the 1990s, but major revisions planned for a 944 "S3" model were eventually rolled into the 968 instead, which replaced the 944. The 944 was a successful model and was available as both a coupé and cabriolet in naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms.
For the 1987 model year, the 944S "Super" was introduced. The 944S featured a high performance normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 192 PS (141 kW; 189 hp) version of the 2.5 litre engine (M44/40) featuring a self adjusting timing belt tensioner. This marked the first use of four – valve-per-cylinder heads and DOHC in the 944 series, derived from the 928S4 featuring a redesigned camshaft drive, a magnesium intake tract/passages, magnesium valve cover, larger capacity oil sump and revised exhaust system.
Performance was quoted as 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.2 seconds and a 232 km/h (144 mph) top speed. It also featured an improved programmed Bosch Digital Motronic Computer/DME with dual knock sensors for improved fuel performance. Like the 944 Turbo, the 944S received progressive springs for greater handling, revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 2.5-litre DOHC higher 6800 rpm rev limit.
Great example and beautifully presented vehicle. Great colour -. Straight body – good paint – very tidy interior and mechanically fantastic. This is really, genuinely a great car to own and today in terms of money – EXTRAORDINARY VALUE.
Well built, well balanced, very precise and accurate steering. This car is fast, has great sound and lots of fun. Service History & Receipts Available. NOT TO BE MISSED.
