While quite rare, the Porsche 944 S2 is one of the most exciting model in the series.
The Porsche 944 S2 is a sports car with a top speed of 240 km/h that features ideal weight distribution thanks to the transaxle architecture – engine at the front, transmission at the rear. This results in optimum handling.
The 944 S2 is an absolute technical highlight because its 211 PS 3.0-litre engine made history as the four-cylinder engine for passenger cars with the largest displacement. The 3.0-litre four-valve naturally aspirated engine also offers better driveaway performance than the 2.5-litre twin-valve turbo engine, because the turbocharged engine needs a certain engine speed to overcome the turbo lag.
First registered on 1st of Aug 1989, it was purchased by the current owner on 28th of Feb 2013.
It features all original parts, with comprehensive service history, all MOT’s logged, and a photo journal that backs to the date of some major works carried on wings and side panels.
