Porsche 944 S2 Cabrio

After three decades of producing rear-engined air-cooled cars, Porsche began experimenting with more mainstream configurations in the late 1970s. The Stuttgart company released a line of water-cooled, front-engined cars (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.

Although the body of the 944 was based on the 924, it had significantly more striking contours. In model year 1989, the S2 model replaced the 944 S. In addition to the more muscular body, the S2 also received a 3.0-liter 4-valve engine that generated 211 hp. This brought the performance level almost to that of the 944 Turbo.

The 944 S2 was also available in a Cabriolet version from the start.

This 944 S2 Cabriolet was delivered to its first Dutch owner on July 24, 1990. The color scheme is beautiful. The exterior color is Gletscher metallic, combined with an interior in Navy blue and a dark blue convertible roof.

The car is factory equipped with the following options:

• 139: Adjustable seat heating left
• 220: Differential lock (40% lock)
• 340: Adjustable seat heating right
• 418: Side protection strips
• 490: HIFI sound package (10 speakers)
• 598: “16-ventiler” badge
• 946: partial leather front

An extensive technical report prepared by Porsche, confirming the original configuration in which the car is as well as the matching engine and gearbox, is available.

Furthermore, the history contains a number of maintenance invoices on top of the original maintenance booklet. The manual of the car is also present. The maintenance history shows that in 2020 all shock absorbers, along with the ventilated disc brakes, were replaced. A major maintenance was also carried out at the time, including replacement of the timing belt. A new convertible roof was installed in 2021.

Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase a beautifully maintained 944 S2 Convertible before they become priceless.
