Over the 10 year life span of the 944 Series, its chassis, engine and electronics underwent many evolutionary enhancements culminating in the launch of the highly desirable 944 S2. Its 3.0 litre 16 valve engine is one of the most powerful 4-cylinder normally aspirated cars in the world and still retains a reputation for sheer driving pleasure.
The Turbo charged 944 in both Coupe and Cabriolet body styles added a new dimension to the 944 Series and gained a richly deserved loyalty due to its exceptional performance combined with versatile and practical styling.
With Porsche's commitment to model longevity, the 944 maintained its edge on the competition through subtle improvements. Its muscular bodywork with wide wheel arches and aerodynamic spoilers possess classic lines that will ensure the 944 Series sits proudly as a true Porsche legend.
