The 944 Turbo is one of those unique and obscure cars that has always caught my eye but I never fully appreciated until I bought this one. I am excited to share my experience with this car and it will be hitting the auction block soon on bring a trailer!
The For the 1986 model year, Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo, known internally as the 951. The Turbo had a turbocharged and intercooled version of the standard 944. The Turbo was the first Porsche production car utilising a ceramic port liner to retain exhaust gas temperature along with new forged pistons and was also the first vehicle to produce an identical power output with or without a catalytic converter. The Turbo also featured several other changes, such as improved aerodynamics, notably an integrated front bumper. This featured the widest turn signals (indicators) fitted to any production car, a strengthened gearbox with a different final drive ratio, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16 inch wheels (optional forged Fuchs wheels), and a slightly stiffer suspension (progressive springs) to handle the extra weight. The Turbo's front and rear brakes were borrowed from the 911. This car is very cool and lots of fun to look at and drive.
The 944 turbo is a emerging collectible sports car and a very smart purchase for someone looking to start or add to your Porsche Collection! For my money makers and wheel shakers the 944 Turbo is one to have!
