Overview of 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet For Sale by Owner

Porsche is best known for their iconic 911 that was introduced in 1964 and continues to run to this day. However, they have also offered cars that sit beneath the 911 in hierarchy, representing a more affordable entry point to Porsche ownership and introduction to the Porsche driving experience. Between 1982 and 1991, this slot was occupied by the 944. It replaced the 924, and was superseded by the 968 in 1992. Only about 3,938 Porsche 944 S2s were made in cabriolet form, of those, 1,823 units were imported to the US. Today, the 944 has gained a cult following, and if you wish to join them, here’s a 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet from Plymouth, Wisconsin. This car has traveled under 97,000 miles so far, and appears to be in great nick for a car of this age.

Exterior and Interior

This 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet wears a suit of silver and comes with a navy blue canvas top that’s power-operated for maximum user convenience. In terms of styling, it’s significantly different from the 911, with a more angular, wedge-shaped profile, pop-up headlamps and different wheels to those worn by contemporary 911s. This was necessary, as Porsche didn’t want to dilute the 911 in any way, and wanted its other models to create their own identities. That’s why the look of this car differs notably to that of a 924, or a 968. The interior of this 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet has two power-adjustable seats up front, upholstered in navy blue leather, and two smaller rear seats that are best for children. It’s also packed with a host of convenience features. Yes, even entry-level Porsches are well equipped. Notable features include cruise control, air conditioning with climate control, and a Pioneer head unit with CD player. A four-dial gauge cluster from VDO faces the driver, and a short manual gear shifter falls easily to hand. You’ve also got some reasonable trunk space that can accept a couple of squishy bags alongside the large Pioneer subwoofer that resides there.

Engine

Powering this 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet is a 3.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The naturally aspirated unit features 16 valves and is rated for 208 horsepower. A 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard. Testing at the time revealed that the 0-60 time was 6 seconds and the car topped out at nearly 150mph.

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.
