944s, 968s, 928s still look FANTASTIC today...

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

I'm confident there will soon be a solid 944 turbo resto-mod that will reignite the 944 market.

[@threezerol944t]

Thanks.

[@threezerol944t]

@@Russell_and_Rosko I'm working on it.

[@motorconcierge]

Ah, the time when cigarette manufacturers were the best sponsors :)) btw, happy to see how 944 is having a renessaince across the world ,still remember times when people let them rot in backyard instead of restoring them.

[@NeilRobicheau]

I remember watching this on TV as a kid growing up in Canada. I've always loved the 944.

[@performanceoptimization5876]

Thank you Magnus for revisiting a glorious moment. Spending so much time at Mosport, it was such a great experience seeing the Porsche Turbo Cup series with Richard Spenard.

[@TheDjcarlos67]

I had a guards red 944 with deep-dished Fuchs alloys. True love ❤️

[@edmatthews9235]

Glad to see the coverage on the Turbo Cup car. Amazing cars ! The 930 engine sound mixed in is funny. 😮 The 944 Turbo Cups out of Canada had 4" huge pipe out the back and make a glorious unique sound. Keep it comming Magnus!

[@benriv]

Will be possible to race with other 944 at Mont Tremblant Quebec at the 3 Classique in the G70/G90 categorie, usually there is around 10 944 in a group of 20

[@dailyturismo402]

Loving these videos Magnus and the production team!! Keep up the vibe -- it might seem like you aren't getting the millions of views that some of the CRAP that is put on youtube, but this is quality stuff. Take it from a guy who used to drive a free Porsche 928...I know quality!! :)

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

I love the 944 turbo shape. This turbo cup needs a chin spoiler and wheel fitment to match its performance. I would love to find some 17" aftermarket phone dials for my '87 951. These cars are great stock, but solid mounted suspension, engine and transaxle along with more power, a more aggressive alignment and less weight really makes them feel light on their toes. These old cars are still immensely capable, especially when setup properly for modern tire compounds. Amazing that Magnus was given the opportunity to drive on this track with a turbo cup car. A special car on a special track.

Check out Augment Wheels

[@AlanShirtsink]

The S2 variant is a spectacular automobile. Mahalo Magnus for letting people know

[@johns997.1]

The first time I visited Mosport when I was a kid was to see the Turbo Cup race 🤘

[@Vampirebear13]

The Ford dealership I worked at in 88-89 had a 944 Turbo Cup S2 in the showroom. Was ultra white with white wheels & a hot pink pinstripe twisted with a lime green pinstripe on both sides. I don't remember it having a roll cage though. That car was so 1980's & in pristine condition.

[@allisonbrautigam1444]

That sounds sick!

[@cameronbear5808]

I daily drive my ‘88 924S. Love that car.

[@chrisroot7182]

Watching drivers like Richard Spenard, Scott Goodyear and Ron Fellows around tracks like Mosport and Mt Tremblant made for some great times!

[@hammertime1]

I would daily drive my 944 and would even drive it up skiing in New Hampshire & Vermont in serious snow storms that car was the balls!!! 🏎️

[@2fast2nick]

What an epic purchase, that thing i still perfect.

[@944racer]

I own the #10 Turbo Cup. These are such sweethearts to drive. Very easy to go quickly with confidence.

[@arciliocoelho5767]

Amazing and fantastic, handling cars!, so happy that they are getting the attencion that they deserve!!!

[@fatherandsonrc]

Agreed! I love my 86 951! It was my dream car as a kid and I finally bought it in 2013.

[@jaynechgui2108]

From France with a 944 Turbo 250 "91 ! Great car ! Thanks for this video !!

[@barthie1]

944 ❤❤❤

[@Yaboi_RC]

Love seeing & hearing all about these nice porsches cant wait till the next

[@SJW82]

Just checked the prices out on my local FB marketplace, and you can pick one up for under 10k…that’s a steal that for a future classic 👌🏻

[@Porschee944]

Great car

[@DirtySlapper99]

Very well said 🤙

[@artmadaofficialyoutube]

To truly experience these cars, you have to drive at Mosport and you have to include me. 😃

[@martintuija]

Please don't put 930 engine sound, on a 944 turbo film.. That's just not right.

[@brunodealmeidajabrayan5563]

Great video.

[@fabricedurand8897]

@gabuz1 you should come face to Le Mans classic with your beautiful 944 Rothmans

[@stephenkeough7975]

Great video as usual Magnus, I thought you might get an invite to the Goodwood festival of speed, would have been great to see you there.

[@MunkeM]

Go magnus

[@martintuija]

Why would you use 930turbo engine sound, on a porsche 944 turbo film. That's just amatur stuff.

[@kevinbarrett9615]

As a proud Canadian I loved this episode. A great series at a great track, by the way your red plaid shirt qualifies you for one free poutine at Tim Hortons next time you cross the border !

[@gregoryfranks7347]

are you shitting me...600lbs??? wow that had to make it a totally different animal.i have always been a 951 fan, i take care of my brothers 993 turbo and my love since 1985 has been RUF Automobil. needless to say im a porsche fanatic much like yourself. what was the majority of that weight. i know glass vs. aluminium isnt a whole lot, ven a fully gutted interior doesnt seem like its 500lbs considering its electronics and using lightweight seats but adding cage and fire suppression as well as whateverother safety requirements. do you have any insight. cheers

[@billsmith5960]

Now you need to find the ultra rare 944S2 Club Sport. 7 were built and were better than those turbo Cup cars

[@richardcarr6493]

THEY WERE NICE BUT 35k was not everyday mans affordable car ,firebirds mustangs Z28s were 16k in 83 and just as fast really with more engine n fuel use but 16k bought lots of fuel in 83 !! ln the eighties l had a thing for 928s due to RISKY BUSINESS AND WEIRD SCIENCE movies :)

[@scottfielding6179]

If you live in the PNW, Leif Johnson in Woodinville WA, is THE only guy you want to go to for 924/944/968/928.
