Porsche 944 S Targa (1987)

Kickdown's Take
by Leonard DeppenThe 944 S, with its 2.5-liter 16-valve engine and 190 PS, is the sporty variant of the model 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; it was last serviced in May 2025, when a new battery was installed, and the invoices are available. The 18-inch Keskin wheels are registered and give it a powerful presence. The 944 S is becoming increasingly sought after. A great opportunity for transaxle enthusiasts!
