Descrição
In 1989, Porsche introduced the 944 S2 Cabriolet, the first 944 to feature a convertible body style. The contract to build Porsche's 944 S2's Cabriolet was awarded to ASC (American Sunroof Company) in Weinsberg, Germany. Fully built 944 S2 coupes were taken off the assembly line at Neckarsulm and delivered to ASC where tops were removed, chassis strengthened, necessary bodywork completed for the new rear deck and installation of the convertible top. The first-year production of the 944 S2 Cabriolet included only 16 manufactured for the U. S. market.
Among the various 944 models, the 944 S2 is a special car for several reasons. Firstly, it is quite rare; between 1988 and 1991, fewer than 9, 400 Coupés and 7, 000 Cabriolets were built – spread over all continents. The late models with front airbags are particularly rare. Secondly, 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. 280 newton metres of torque are available here at 4, 100 rpm. 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.
