The Porsche 944 is a rear-wheel drive sports car that was produced by Porsche from 1982 to 1991. It was a significant departure from its predecessors, the 924 and 928, as it was the first Porsche to be powered by a water-cooled, four-cylinder engine. The 944’s engine, a 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder, was initially derived from the Audi 100, but Porsche extensively modified it, adding a Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system, a single overhead camshaft, and a belt-driven timing chain. The engine was paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and later models received a four-speed automatic.

The 944’s lightweight, aerodynamic bodywork, and powerful engine made it a highly capable sports car. Its handling was praised for its balance and responsiveness, and its performance was impressive for its class. The 944 was offered in a variety of trim levels, including the base 944, the more powerful 944 Turbo, and the 944 S, which featured a larger engine and a number of performance upgrades. The 944 was a commercial success for Porsche, with over 163,000 units sold worldwide during its production run. It was a popular choice for enthusiasts and track drivers alike, and it remains a desirable classic car today. The 944’s legacy is solidified by its influence on subsequent Porsche models, such as the Boxster and Cayman, which adopted its mid-engine layout and sporty handling.
