An automotive icon of the '80s, Porsche's 944 was considered a top driving enthusiast's car thanks to its light weight, perfectly balanced chassis, athletic handling, communicative steering and spirited engine performance. The handsome styling with its flared fenders provided the looks to match the performance. Introduced for 1983, the 944 saw continual improvements, such as a more sweeping dash design and greater output from the engine lineup. Here we have a 1988 Porsche 944 that boasts very good overall condition. The Guards Red paint is sharply accented with the factory wrap-around rear spoiler and the factory phone dial alloy wheels. Swing open a door and you'll see that the interior is likewise in nice condition. The Porsche features black leather seating, air conditioning, power windows, power driver's seat, a removable sunroof and an Alpine AM/FM/CD audio system. Under the sleek hood is the strong-running 2.5-liter inline four. Although output at 160 hp is tame by today's standards, the 944 weighed less than 2,900 pounds, so the car is surprisingly peppy and the 5-speed manual gearbox adds to the huge fun factor. Out on your favorite twisty road is where the 944 fully backs up its reputation as one of the most entertaining sports cars of the last 50 years. This well-maintained 944 presents a lot of bang for the buck and is proof that you don't need 400 horsepower to have a blast behind the wheel. Given its condition and pricing, we don't expect to have this 944 for too long. Please call Carroll Street Auto at (603) 627-5595 to schedule time to check out this iconic sports car.
