The Porsche 944 is still an affordable great daily driver.

The Porsche 944 2.5 model was first introduced in 1982 and was designed to be a more affordable alternative than the 911 series from which it derived its style. It featured an inline-4 engine with a displacement of 2.5 liters, producing 147 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 159 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. The car had a top speed of 131 mph (210 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) within 8 seconds.
In 1984, Porsche made some changes to the engine by increasing its power output to 163 horsepower at 6,000 rpm while dropping the torque rating slightly to 157 lb-ft at 4500rpm; this version is often referred to as the “2½” or “S”. In addition, minor external modifications were made such as revised front and rear spoilers for improved aerodynamics. In 1985 Porsche released their final iteration of the 944 line before introducing their next generation 968 offering: The limited edition “944 Turbo” featuring a turbocharged version of the same basic engine that produced 217 horsepower along with 258 lb.-ft of torque making it one of the fastest cars available in its class during that time period.
A few years later in 1988 saw further developments with what would eventually become known as “944 S2” which combined elements from both earlier versions including features like 16 inch wheels instead 15 inch ones found on previous models along with more aggressive body styling meant offer better stability & handling performance when taken out onto racetracks; these changes helped give rise popularity amongst racing enthusiasts who favored vehicle’s nimble characteristics over those offered other sports coupes market then .
In 1989 came final update known simply “944 S3” where engineers decided increase engine size 3 liter mark produce 208bhp @ 6000rpm alongside 221lb ft torque 5000rpm - giving car top speeds 140mph+ depending route driven . This particular model also featured revised suspension setup bringing even tighter cornering ability meaning drivers could enjoy true racecar experience whilst still being comfortable enough use everyday streets too!
Overall this means has been quite successful production run since inception almost 40 years ago; many consider vehicles classic now thanks enduring longevity design concept - something testament company’s commitment creating iconic machines will stand test time well into future!

there is also the 944 S and s2 with the turbo front. The turbo front looks so good!

[@DiecastHD]

Nice video. I trust the interior is custom, not by Porsche. I have an '83. 6' 3" and I fit nicely! Take care!

[@SirDrifto]

I was wondering if this was factory interior option or not 😂. Thanks for watching

[@DiecastHD]

@@SirDrifto Happy you’re enjoying your 944 after giving up your first one!

[@locophoto6881]

That’s a custom redo :)

[@j1nx3d5]

Yes I agree, customised interior. Looks like it may have been a theme. The dash mat is aftermarket and is colour coded to the interior. Overall its pretty well done.

Just picked up a 1987 924S. Love the ride, its good in city and highway. Its gonna need a little TLC. I had a supposed german car expert shop check it out. Useless waste of $200 bucks. I wanted the main things checked so i could get a list as to what needs done. He called back quoting $2000 for timing belt, water pump, rollers. I asked if he took off the cover off,, and didnt know if the tech had actually checked it. I just paid the 200 and took my car back. You definitely have to do the work unless you havd money and trusted mechanic that actually has experience on them...

Looks like Hi way 20 going out of Mtn Home. Did you factor in the wind when you calculated its performance?

[@dabeatlive]

Can someone send me a list and a picture of the relays for a 84 944 I would greatlky appreciate that

[@john3Lee]

That almost the same power output as my stock 2012 Beetle coupe !!

[@SirDrifto]

Beetles are cool too

[@legoanimations9546]

I’m thinking of getting a 924 or 944 as my first car whcih is preferable if any one has any tips please reply thx

[@SirDrifto]

Absolutely. I feel the 944 is more refined than the 924, but you can pick up a 924 for less money and frankly it’s a great car aswell. I’ll do a video on one soon.

[@Seagrams]

Porsche updated the car throughout the long production years, from the 924, 924s, early 944, late 944.. They are all built well and don't have many serious flows. But if you can, I would get the latest year you can find - that will come with all the updates and improvements.

[@MaoNoUse]

My first car was a 1986, 944. I got it just before going into college in 1999. As an independent young adult who paid for everything out of his own pocket, and was just starting to learn about fixing cars, the 944 kept me broke, out of money during the 3 years I owned her. My advice is don't get a 944 as your first car, it is an expensive car to learn on.

[@RCGrid]

You don’t want a 944 or any 80’s car as your first car. At this age, everything made of rubber is deteriorating and needs constant attention and maintenance. This car would make a great second car if you already have something that can get you from point A to point B reliably

[@MrBlaze256]

miata is the better choice

[@philingram2581]

Cool dog.

[@SpikeArrowood]

My cousin had one of these new ..BAD ARSE CAR!!!!

[@SirDrifto]

[@SpikeArrowood]

@@SirDrifto go easy with Sir Otto in the passenger seat

[@internetpolice3123]

Sell all your cars buy a 6.3 - 300sel and a 928gts s4 with sport club alloys all triple black, 928 knocks the socks of any 911 and they are robust 27MPG. DONE.

[@SirDrifto]

How's the reliability of a 928?

[@hutchdw77]

LS swap it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ricoxxx1849]
