Overview of 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in an iconic Porsche color called Guards Red, this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo features side protection body moldings in body color, as well as that electrically operable roof panel for a semi-open-air experience at will. It's also got pop-up headlamps, which are a highly desirable feature for many – we’ll admit that we’re suckers for pop-ups too! With its squat stance, squared-off tail, and rear liftgate, this is a Porsche that’s definitely one to admire. The interior of this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo features black leather seats, an alarm system, cruise control, and an aftermarket Pioneer stereo head unit with an AUX port. It’s also got air conditioning and power windows. Seating comprises a 2+2 layout just like a 911, where the rear seats are best for small children. But, you’ve also got some decent cargo capacity that’s easy to access via that large rear glass liftback.

Engine

Powering this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. With a single KKK K26 turbocharger and intercooler, the engine uses Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection. It’s reportedly rated at 217hp, allowing a 0-60 sprint time of just under 6 seconds if you’re good at your launching and manual gear shifting techniques. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. You’ve also got ventilated disc brakes from Brembo, which are the same units from the 911 Turbo of that period.

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.
