Porsche 944 Turbo

After producing rear-engined air-cooled cars for three decades, Porsche began experimenting with more mainstream configurations in the late 1970s. The Stuttgart-based company released a series of water-cooled cars with the engine at the front (transaxles), first with the 924 in 1976, then with the 928 in 1978. The Porsche 944 appeared in 1982 with a more performance-oriented take on what the 924 initiated.

The Porsche 944 Turbo, first shown to the international press in February 1985 and on sale starting in July, was the first car in the world to produce the same power and driving performance, with or without a catalytic converter: 220 horsepower and a top speed of more than 245 km/h.

Since its debut in 1985, the super-fast four-cylinder with its water-cooled turbo technology generated much approval, along with several racing successes. Trade magazines celebrated the debutant as “the world’s fastest catalyst-equipped car” and the “cleanest sports car in the world”; others summed it up as “Porsche’s Super Technology.”

We are very proud to present our 944 Turbo which was delivered to its first owner by Porsche Zentrum Zaaland in Duisland on July 1, 1986. From the factory, the car was equipped with the following options:

• External gearbox cooler
• Side skirts
• Removable sunroof
• Leather seats
• Air conditioning

In the early 2000s, the car went to the Netherlands where it was de-registered from 2005 to 2017. Afterwards, the car came to Belgium. The last (Belgian) owner has had this car since 2020. He did all the overdue maintenance and spent over 15,000€ to get the car tiptop. The timing belt was replaced in May 2021.

The car comes with its service book and lots of maintenance bills.

A well-maintained 944 Turbo with low mileage is not easy to find these days. Don’t miss this opportunity!
