Model History

The Porsche 944 was introduced in the early 1980s as a further development of the Porsche 924. While the 924 originally stemmed from a design developed by Porsche for Volkswagen, the 944 was built on a significantly more independent technical foundation featuring a four-cylinder engine developed by Porsche. The model debuted in 1981 and was very well received by the press and customers. Production took place largely at the Audi plant in Neckarsulm, where the 924 was also built. The 944 quickly established itself as a sporty yet practical transaxle Porsche and is today considered one of the brand’s defining sports cars from the 1980s.

    Technik: Der Porsche 944 erschien in den Versionen 944, 944 S, 944 S2, 944 Turbo und – in begrenzter Stückzahl – als Topmodell 944 Turbo S. Die Versionen unterschieden sich in der Motorleistung, der Ausstattung und dem Preis. Alle Versionen kennzeichnet und eint das Transaxlesystem, das es vor dem 924 nicht bei Porsche gegeben hatte: Der Motor sitzt mit seinem Schwerpunkt leicht hinter der Vorderachse, wohingegen die (ursprünglich für den Audi 100 entwickelte) Einheit aus Getriebe und Achsantrieb im Heck des Fahrzeugs liegt. Verbunden werden Motor und Getriebe durch eine in einem Stahlrohr laufende Welle. Das ergibt zusammen mit dem großen Kraftstofftank eine ausgewogene Gewichtsverteilung von 48 : 52 (Front : Heck) und dadurch ein neutrales Fahrverhalten und gute Traktion. LG Tom
