History, Ownership
The low total mileage is documented by the fully traceable maintenance history.
The vehicle was continuously registered to the first owner until 2019. In the summer of 2019, the car received an H-inspection with seasonal license plates. Since then, it has only been driven sporadically.
Previous service and TÜV invoices show that the Turbo has covered just under 1,400 km since 2019.
Our customer purchased the vehicle after a joint inspection and evaluation in the spring of 2024.
After the purchase, despite the low mileage since the previous service, all fluids and filters were replaced at our customer’s request. Additionally, the excellent original condition was preserved through detailing, a ceramic coating, and dry-ice cleaning followed by underbody sealing.
The very well-preserved light gray leather interior with the coveted electric “Turbo” sports seats visually complements the special exterior color Graphite Metallic perfectly—the exterior appearance harmonizes with the well-maintained interior.
Special Features:
The vehicle is equipped with numerous extras that were considered exceptional even back then.
The combination of the removable electric Targa retractable roof and the air conditioning was a rarity.
Due to its German factory delivery, the Turbo features the coveted version without a catalytic converter.
The optional 40% limited-slip differential and a more powerful battery were also ordered.
The matching original 944 Turbo Fuchs wheels in sizes 7 & 8 x 16 ET 23.3 with new Michelin Pilot tires were purchased in 2025 in addition to the original factory-fitted wheels (Telephone design) that were also included. In our opinion, they give the vehicle an even sportier and more contemporary look.

My assessment:
Early 944 Turbos in this pristine condition have practically disappeared from the market. For connoisseurs and collectors of the brand seeking an uncompromising vehicle from this era with a perfect history and high potential for appreciation, this example is a must-have.
