The interior has been completely redesigned. The individually mounted round gauges have been replaced by a new instrument cluster featuring four dials arranged around a large tachometer. The seats, directly inspired by those of the 911, also make their debut.
Under the hood, the 944 retains its 2.5-liter inline-four engine producing 163 chevaux. This powertrain is renowned for its robustness and balance, benefiting from a weight distribution close to 50/50 thanks to the transaxle layout.
Produced from 1981 to 1991 with just over 163,000 units built across all versions, the 944 ranks among the most widely produced Porsches of its era.
Far from making it commonplace, this widespread production has contributed to its status today as a sought-after “youngtimer,” prized for its affordability, proven mechanical reliability, and its status as a quintessential example of Porsche production from the 1980s.
In short, this Porsche 944 has stood the test of time with elegance and retains all the personality that made it a success. An endearing German “youngtimer,” it is accessible and particularly appealing to enthusiasts looking to own a genuine piece of Porsche history.
