The Porsche 944 S, produced from 1987 to 1989, was a performance-oriented variant of the popular 944 sports car. Building on the already impressive foundation of the standard 944, the 'S' model boasted a significant power increase thanks to a larger, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine, internally designated the "Type 948," featured a larger bore and stroke, producing a respectable 190 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque. The 944 S also featured revised suspension tuning, larger brakes, and a unique body kit with a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser. These modifications aimed to enhance the car's handling and aerodynamic performance, further solidifying its reputation as a capable and engaging sports car.

The 944 S's interior was a blend of practicality and sporty flair. Featuring comfortable and supportive seats, a well-laid-out dashboard, and a focus on driver ergonomics, the 944 S provided a rewarding experience both on the road and on the track. The car's rear-mounted engine configuration, a trademark of the 944 family, offered a unique driving experience with a distinct balance and weight distribution. The 944 S's reputation for reliability and its relatively affordable price point compared to other Porsche models made it a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a thrilling yet accessible sports car. While its production run was relatively short, the 944 S remains a cherished model within the Porsche community, a testament to its performance, handling, and timeless design.
