Porsche 944 S (1987)

Kickdown's Take
by Leonard DeppenThe 944 S, with its 2.5-liter 16-valve engine and 190 PS, is the sportiest variant in the series, in which Porsche first used four-valve technology in a transaxle coupe. This red example with a five-speed manual transmission has an “H” license plate, a DEKRA classic car certification valid through 2025, and a recent vehicle inspection valid through 2027. The last service was performed in May 2025 and included a new battery; invoices and the service booklet are available. The 18-inch Keskin wheels are registered and give the car a powerful presence. The 944 S is becoming increasingly sought after. A perfect entry-level choice for transaxle enthusiasts!
