Porsche 944 944 (1982-1991)

19821991 · coupe

Eighties Porsche grand tourer. 2.5L / 2.7L / 3.0L inline-four front engine, rear transaxle, 50/50 weight distribution. Variants: 944 (base), 944 S, 944 S2 (3.0L), 944 Turbo (951 internally), 944 Turbo S. The 944 Turbo and S2 are the enthusiast picks. Modern collector market has been climbing.

Watch out: Timing belt and balance-shaft belt service is non-negotiable on the 944 — interference engine, belt failure = bent valves. Watch for cracked dashboards (cosmetic but expensive to repair), torque tube wear, and clutch master/slave cylinder leaks. A documented maintenance history is worth more than low miles.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
