In1983, the Porsche 944 was introduced to take over the 924. They came with a 2.5 liter inline 4 cylinder which was considered half of a 928 V-8 engine. The chassis and body shell were from the 924, but it had flared fenders, a rear spoiler, and a front air dam. The 944 1985 1/2 model interior was redone to look more like the 911 with a new dash. In 1986 the Porsche 944 Turbo was introduced with a new, sleeker front bumper. For 1987, the 944 S was added to the model line-up. It offered ABS. By 1989, the 944 S was replaced by the 944 S2. The S2 had a new 3.0 liter engine in it, producing 208 hp. The S2's bodywork was the same as the 944 Turbo's. In 1990, the 944 S2 cabriolet was made available. 1991 was the last year for the 944 which was replaced by the better looking 968
I have a 85.5 and love it. You wont win any 1\4 race with it turbo or not. But NO ONE will get you in the turns. Just like driving on fly paper.
Yes, they are all RWD. If you get one 85.5 up... Start building up a small block chevy for a transplant
Then you will be damn near king of the road holding your own with 30-40K cars for all around performance.
Price range $1500.00 on up.
