Ever seen the Porsche logo spin?

really looks like it´s handling great.

Man I remember being I love with that car back in the 80s! I was in my early 20s and I couldn’t afford one! But I used to buy the magazines and collect the posters and put them on my wall. I also bought the Tamiya 1/24 scale of that car that I still have till this day sitting on my shelf! A Red 944 turbo. I’m still in love with that car today! I’m pretty sure I could get a good taken cared one today! But it’s got to be mechanically sound! But the 944 turbo didn’t arrive until 1986!

I remember when the 944 came out!

Great video!

i got a 944 poster recently, saving up for the real thing

The 80s music was what went through my head when I bought mine

Yet lost every race 0 - 29 against the early underpowered C4 Corvette... in the corners !

Mars Red

Great video but ..no love for the cabriolet?

The problem with the 944 are the owners who trash them

The 944 is just a 924 but the difference is 1,000 mi

Geez, your facts are way off. The 914 was marketed in Germany as a Volkswagen. It was only a "Porsche" in the United States, until the 914/6 was developed. Volkswagen and Porsche didn't decide to develop a car together; VW asked Porsche to make a new flagship sports car--Porsche is an engineering company first and foremost--then backed out, and created the Scirocco from the Golf. Porsche bought the IP back from VW, contracted with Audi for engines, and introduced the 924. But Porsche didn't "make" the 924; it was built in Neckarsulm by Audi.

I love the Porsche 944 more than any 911 from the 80s and that's my opinion, yeah the 911 was a amazing car don't get me wrong I'd kill for a 87 911 all original but the 1983 944 4 cyl to me is the perfect definition of FUN. Not too fast not slow, handles corners LIKE A DREAM and the style is just iconic. Also a very easy to work on and reliable car and as far as Porsches go parts are affordable also. I've had a Moss Green 83 944 for a year now and I've only driven it a few times because I never have time to fix it (basic bad wiring from previous owner) but when I hop behind the wheel I smile from ear to ear no matter what speed I'm at one of the best experiences any car guy can have. A 944 on a nice mountain road is the definition of fun

I own an 84 944.... loved it from the first time I drove it.... always said it was a race car in street clothes.... once you dirve a 944... you will never have this wonderful experience.... with anythng else....

Great video!!! I have had a few of these!!! And yes they can give cars a rough time on track !!! Enjoy!!😂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZ2RbNOorbK7ZaM.html this is my 86 turbo at Summit point WV !!!

Hope I’m able to afford one before there to expensive lmao

Hate to correct you sir, but lamborghini is German 😂

Great car, until I discovered the e86 BMW Z4M…

Make a video on the porsche 968!!

I owned in the past the 924, 944, 944 Turbo, 968, Boxster. Then I went TVR Tuscan then Audi R8. Such a shame the US ruined the looks of the 944 with the stupid rear bump/fender change and stupid side lights - thankfully we didn't have those in the UK and Europe. Also I loved the 928 in Tom Cruise movie Risky Business. Also the 924 was designed by Porsche for VW sell (with a VW badge) but the fuel crisis in 73 (caused by the US!!!) meant VW cancelled the project but Porsche had spent so much time and money on it that they sold it themselves. The 968 was such a better car than the 944 - the 944 turbo was awesome apart from the turbo lag.

I owned an S2 with a 3 liter atmo engine, and i had an orgasm each time i drove it) Perfect every day and holiday car

I had a 944 and a modified 944 turbo, (425 HP). Loved both cars...

Haaa this car was annihilated by the C4 Corvette… in the SCCA championship Corvette won 29 races..Porsche 0. Corvette was banned because it was too good. The Corvette ran rings around this car.

I hate this car ❤

All true however some very important points were omitted. 1. It out performed the 911 turbo up to about 120, and ate all NA 911's for lunch. High mtc. in later years, yes, but no worse than the 911. As mentioned it was not indented to be a 1/4 mile car, however once rolling ant at the 3K+ RPM on boost, it was a terror of the day and for years after.

From a design perspective, the 944's exterior styling is truly a work of art. I don't understand why Porsche discontinued it.

Congratulations for pronouncing the company correctly.

well they were allready working on the 928 since 71 when they took over the 924

Excellent video ! I recently learned about the Porsche 944 and have been looking for a comprehensive video on it for a while. This one gave me all the information I was searching for. Thank you !

If you are young and want to try to restore one of these to road worthiness, DON'T! Parts for these cars are hard to get-not like going to Autozone or Advanced Auto. Parts are also pricey when you find them. To say these cars are German engineered is an understatement. Twelve bolts to hold something together that would take six. Hex bolts all over these cars and if you don't have your Allen key in correctly you just stripped out the bolts holding the seats in, have fun getting those out. One final thought is that the interiors of 944's are fairly bland-they are after all, all antiques. Clutch replacement requires the entire rear transaxle to be removed or the engine pulled. 😁😁

Whats the last Song in the background called?

People seem to forget that the 944 platform was tested at the crucible of Lemans after it's mundane beginnings. A properly tuned 944 is a track weapon. Think about this, out of a gigantic field of cars the 924 GTS race cars finished 12th overall at Lemans, not in their class, but overall against GT1, GT2, GT3, LMP, Prototypes! Astonishing. The 944 platform is criminally underated and that's now changing with their value beginning to rocket for well kept examples. About time! Respect!

Actually, the first one was built by his son while he was imprisoned in France for war crimes. The French locked him due to some of his designs of starters, alternator/generators that would be used on German tanks and other military vehicles. Ferry Porsche sold the car to an Italian industrialist to earn enough money to bail out Ferdinand. Subsequently, Ferdinand was so impressed with his son's design and engineering features that went into this car that they went into business together. Ferdinand passed away before the 911 was released for sale to the public and he never got to see what became of the iconic car.

944 bargains are over long time ago, good ones are at least $ 20K.......

Nicely presented. Good job!

Good Video.

A lot of mistakes in this video... And mis information

Why say Nine Forty Four but Nine Two Four and Nine Two Eight? You are an American, say Nine Ninety Three like it’s project manager does. Let the Germans, French and the English, who can’t pronounce anything correctly, say the model numbers as three separate numerals.

Good video, would love to see a 944 montage of all the adds and movies that features these cars.

I love 944's but how on earth the 968's haven't rocketed in value even more? That is amazing looking car and it looks a bit like 993 from the front (when the headlights aren't popped up). That can't be a bad thing.

I still have my 944 love it to bits ❤️

Nice

2022 and have yet to be out- cornered by another car ! I scare the crap outta passengers...😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It is the best car ever built, hands down.

Nice one! 944s are nice

How could you not like a 240z?😆I thought it undercut the competition?

This missed the 928. the 911 and definitely the 944 is the poor man's 928. the 928 won "Car" of the year - no other sports car has ever won "Car" of the year. the 928 has two production car land speed records(1986 and 2020). the 928 is the biggest bang for the buck in exotic cars as well as the entire Porsche line up.

That's the thing, these aren't that hard to maintain....coming from a STI owner :/

Cool video. Everybody that's ever driven one, loves the 944.
