The Porsche 944 was a sports car from Porsche that ran between 1982 and 1991. It was different from the brand’s flagship 911 in many ways. For starters, it didn’t share a similar shape, nor did it have a rear-mounted engine. Instead, the engine was mounted in a front-mid configuration, and the front end sported…wait for it…pop-up headlamps! Plus, the Porsche 944 was a proper two-plus-two. Smaller adults had a better chance of fitting into its rear seats than in a 911. And of course, Porsche gave fans a turbo variant. Up for sale is one of those, a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo with 95,000 miles. Furthermore, it’s got some tasty surprises under the hood, which the current owner report to have been fitted before they purchased the car.
Exterior and Interior
Coming to you in an iconic Porsche color called Guards Red, this 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo is surely a stunner to behold. The car’s timeless lines have aged beautifully. Its looks are further bolstered by the set of aftermarket Fikse FM-10 17-inch wheels which it rides on. Based on the photos, we see that the pop-up headlamps are functional. The car’s iconic rear liftback is also in great condition, lifting up with ease to reveal the surprisingly ample trunk space on offer. The black interior of this 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo is said to have been recently redone. It offers seating for up to four occupants. The rear seats are more suited to children, but smaller adults can fit. Creature comforts are impressive, with power windows, power mirrors and climate control with air conditioning. Meanwhile, the center stack hosts a Blaupunkt CD-capable head unit, plus a Zeitronix ZT-2 wideband AFR controller with data logging.
Engine
The 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the hood of this 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo has received some fettling to help it make more power than the factory 217hp. We’ve got a larger Comp triple bearing CT3 55-58 turbocharger, higher-output fuel injectors, stainless steel fuel lines, braided lines, a Fabspeed downpipe, and silicon hoses. Then, there’s a Lindsey Racing boost controller and MAF. Meanwhile, there’s also a polished intake plenum and a 3-inch exhaust with sport-specification muffler. All this means that you can enjoy more power, directed to the rear wheels via the car’s standard 5-speed manual gearbox.
Introduced for the 1983 model year in North America, the Porsche 944 quickly established itself as one of the brand’s best-balanced sports cars thanks to its near-perfect weight distribution, transaxle drivetrain, and everyday usability. It blended Porsche engineering with practical comfort, making it an instant success and one of the company’s highest-volume models of the 1980s. This particular 1983 Porsche 944 has traveled approximately 74,968 miles and presents in the iconic Guards Red over Black color combination. Equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, removable roof panel, and aftermarket air conditioning, it offers an engaging analog driving experience that continues to make early 944s highly sought after by enthusiasts.
Porsche isn’t only known for their ever-popular 911 sports car. This iconic German automaker has also offered other models with suitably differing designs and value propositions. Take the 944 as an example. With its squared-off design, pop-up headlamps and front-engined layout, it’s the polar opposite of the 911. Produced between 1982 and 1991, the 944 was initially naturally aspirated, but as with the 911, a turbo variant soon came onto the scene. That’s what this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo is, and it’s done just under 94,000 miles so far. Furthermore, it’s got a manual gearbox, an electrically openable detachable roof panel, and even an extra set of wheels with slick tires in case you want to take this car to the drag strip or race track.
While Porsche’s 911 was, and still is their darling model, the Stuttgart automaker has got a fairly lengthy list of other Great Hits to enjoy. Take the 944 as an example. Made between 1982 and 1991, it was every bit the anti-911. Instead of putting the engine out back, it was placed between the front wheels. Instead of following the 911’s iconic teardrop shape, the 944 traded it for wedge-shaped styling and captivating pop-up headlamps. Today’s 1987 Porsche 944 is a bit different, because it’s got custom body panels, aftermarket wheels with spacers, and a host of upgrades. Bearing under 80,000 miles to its name, this Vermont-based modern classic sports car is a fantastic find for those who dare to be different.
Few restomods take the air-cooled Porsche formula this far off-script. This 1966 Porsche 911 Restomod is built around a turbocharged 1.3L 13B two-rotor rotary engine with a street port, Precision turbocharger, electronic fuel injection, and a five-speed manual transmission, creating a radically different character from the flat-six configuration most enthusiasts expect to find behind the rear axle. Finished in Speed Yellow over a black and yellow plaid interior, this impressive build also incorporates a widebody conversion, BBS multi-piece wheels, an AiM digital display, racing harnesses, and a fixed rear wing. Mileage is TMU, which is fitting for a car that has been transformed so extensively from its original configuration.
The 2016 Porsche Cayman represents the sweet spot of Porsche’s mid-engine sports-car formula: compact proportions, sharp balance, and a naturally aspirated flat-six mounted exactly where enthusiasts want it. Showing approximately 13,093 miles, this example pairs its 2.7L flat-six with a 7-speed PDK automatic and rear-wheel drive. Finished in GT Silver Metallic over Garnet Red, it also benefits from the Premium Package, 20-inch Carrera S wheels, 14-way power seats with memory, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The color combination alone gives this Cayman plenty of presence, while the low mileage and strong factory option list make it especially appealing as a driver-focused modern Porsche.
The 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS occupies one of the sweetest spots in the modern 911 range, combining everyday usability with a noticeably more focused performance character. This example shows just 6,671 miles and pairs its 3.0L twin-turbocharged flat-six with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Guards Red over a Black leather interior with Chalk stitching, it also benefits from a particularly strong options list that includes the Front Axle Lift System, Porsche InnoDrive, Night Vision Assist, Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, an extended-range fuel tank, and a glass sunroof. Guards Red interior accents and the Premium Package add another layer of distinction to an already desirable GTS specification.
