The Porsche 944, launched in 1982, was a significant departure from the traditional rear-engined Porsche layout. Featuring a front-mounted, water-cooled 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a transaxle rear differential, the 944 offered a compelling blend of performance and practicality. The 944S, introduced in 1986, boasted a larger 2.7-liter engine and a host of performance upgrades, including larger brakes, a limited-slip differential, and revised suspension. The 944S2, a 1989 model, further increased horsepower to 217 through a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, providing a thrilling driving experience.

The 944 series enjoyed notable success, with its distinctive styling, impressive handling, and relatively affordable price point. The cars were praised for their robust build quality, balanced performance, and comfortable interior. Despite offering a more accessible entry point to the Porsche brand compared to the 911, the 944 Series remained true to the core values of performance and driver engagement that made Porsche legendary. The 944, 944S, and 944S2 are now highly sought-after by enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of classic Porsche design and exhilarating performance for a fraction of the cost of a 911.
