The Appeal
The 1992 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet marks the final year of the 944 line, featuring a 3.0-litre 16-valve engine that was the largest four-cylinder of its era. Delivering up to 211hp, it paired refined performance with a high-quality convertible conversion performed by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) in partnership with Porsche.
With its aerodynamic ‘Turbo-style’ front end and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the S2 Cabriolet is celebrated for its exceptional balance and daily usability. This model represents a peak in the 944’s evolution, offering a sophisticated open-top driving experience just before the transition to the Porsche 968.
This 1992 example has been in its current ownership for around three years and is reported to have been kept garaged under a cover during that time. It comes with an MOT valid until August 2026, includes a private registration plate, and is accompanied by its service book along with a collection of invoices. A timing belt change and service were carried out in December 2023 at 98,250 miles, and the front shock absorbers have been replaced more recently, making it an appealing choice for open-top motoring in the warmer months ahead.
