Porsche 944: All 7 models
Car articles about Porsche 944 by year
It's hard to believe, but the Porsche 944 has already reached classic car age (30 years)! The longer the four-cylinder Porsche of the late seventies and early eighties, first the 924, then the 944, was built, the more it transformed itself into a popular all-round sports car and shed its Volkswagen roots. Our report places the 944 in its historical context, points out technical features and shows the growing classic in many pictures.
Anyone who celebrated their professional success by buying a sports car at the beginning of the 1980s was almost certainly also shortlisting the Alfa Romeo GTV6 and the Porsche 944. The two coupés are more similar than you might think at first glance. And they are still a lot of fun today. This article compares the two eighties sports coupés.
The Porsche 924 and 944 models were always somewhat overshadowed by the iconic 911, but in 1985 the Zuffenhausen-based manufacturer set about creating a convincing alternative to the 911. The Porsche 944 Turbo with 220 hp could do many things better than the original 911, but also cost the same. This vehicle report looks back at the history of the 944 Turbo and shows an early example in many pictures, supplemented by historical photographs and a sound sample.
Between 1989 and 1991, Porsche built the 944 S2 Cabriolet, which can be seen as the indirect successor to the 356 Cabriolet of the 1960s. Almost 700 examples were sold and they are still popular with sun worshippers and sports car drivers today. This vehicle report describes the history of the Porsche 944 S2 and shows a convertible from 1989 with extensive photo material.
If you wanted to buy a Porsche 944 Turbo as a convertible, you had to wait until the last year of production. That's why the open-top 944 Turbo remained rare and still is today. With an output of 250 hp and a weight of only around 1.4 tons, it is not short on charm, as this driving report with current and historical photo material shows.
