Porsche 944 2.5L Inline 4 1988
General description :
SUPER CLEAN SOUTHERN 944, 60K ACT MILES, CLEAN HISTORY, 5 SPEED, VERY ORIGINAL!
It's hard not to fall in love/lust with a red Porsche. Especially when this 944 coupe is in the perfect color, has all the best luxury features, and it offered for an unbeatable price.
The 944 continues in Porsche's tradition of building serious driver's cars. But this example isn't a rough track day special. Instead, it has an outstanding finish on its factory-correct Guards Red. And if you're a Porsche person, we don't have to tell you how legendary the color is. You can even tell this is a well-maintained car by the way the black bumpers, trim, and rear panel are crisp and dark against the bright red. And those 15-inch "phone dial" alloys are practically legends on their own.
The black trim on the outside is a nice preview of the interior. The black leather seats look like they were borrowed from the 911, and they are just as deep and dark as the carpeting, door panels, and dash. That's because averaging only about 2,000 miles annually also means little time for fade and wear. The masters at Porsche make for an ideal driving environment where the steering wheel is grippy, the gauges are crisp, and the stick shift is in the perfect position to rest your hand. But more than just a supreme driving machine, it's loaded with all the right features. This includes power windows, power driver's seat, and the original Blaupunkt AM/FM cassette stereo. And of course, this 944 comes with its signature feature, the large removable sunroof that truly opens the coupe up to the world. Plus, with R134a air conditioning, you do this and stay cool all summer long.
The tidy presentation of the engine bay continues the feeling that this has been a well-respected coupe. The 2.5-liter inline-four is all about providing balanced performance. Canted over at an angle for a lower center of gravity, it makes big torque at low speeds. The rear-mounted five-speed means that the car has almost ideal 50/50 weight distribution. Also, the manual transmission also means you get to be in control of this lightweight sports machine. Add in features like four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, grippy Kumho tires, and Porsche's legendary engineering prowess for the fully independent sport suspension, and you realize this is blast to drive anytime you can find an open road.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a complete and bold Porsche that is well within reach. Call today!!!

About Porsche 944
While the Porsche 944 shares some similarities with the Porsche 924, it is not accurate to say that the 944 is simply a 924 turned into a real sports car. The Porsche 944 was designed as a successor to the Porsche 924, but it featured significant changes and improvements that set it apart from its predecessor.One of the most significant changes was the introduction of a new engine. While the Porsche 924 was powered by an Audi-sourced engine, the Porsche 944 featured a Porsche-designed inline-four engine, which was based on the engine from the Porsche 924 Carrera GT. The engine was mounted in the front of the car, but was located further back in the chassis than in the 924, which helped to improve handling and balance.
The Porsche 944 also featured a revised suspension system, with a wider track and a more advanced rear suspension setup than the 924. These changes helped to improve the car's handling and make it more responsive and agile.
Additionally, the Porsche 944 featured a revised body design, with a more aerodynamic shape and a more aggressive look than the 924. The car was also available with a range of performance upgrades, including a turbocharged engine and a range of sport suspension and brake packages.
Overall, while the Porsche 944 may have shared some components with the Porsche 924, it was a significant improvement over its predecessor and is widely regarded as a genuine Porsche sports car in its own right.
