If you think of Porsche, the image of the 911 instantly springs to mind. However, the manufacturer has made numerous attempts to offer new models, and many of these have met with undeniable success. The 928 is an imposing, comfortable Grand Tourer. The 911 was a demanding sports car. As for the 944, it was conceived with the aim of offering a car that combined the best of the automaker's know-how for the widest possible audience, resulting in a wide variety of versions. When, in 1985, Porsche decided to add a turbocharger to its 4-cylinder engine with a cubic capacity of almost 2500 cm3, the 944 was literally transformed. The all-Porsche engine and turbocharger developed 220 horsepower, giving the car a very playful character, while maintaining driver comfort in a fully equipped, leather-lined cockpit. In 1988, a limited series of the 944 Turbo appeared in an "S" version, or "Cup" in France. Based on the competition model of the same name, the Turbo Cup now developed 250 hp thanks to a new, dedicated turbo. It also features a number of race-derived technical improvements, including lowered suspension, adjustable dampers, brakes borrowed from the 928, a self-locking differential and even ABS. It also comes with all the options of the 944 Turbo as standard. It now takes less than 6 seconds to reach 100 km/h, and its top speed exceeds 260 km/h! All these improvements foreshadowed the 944 Turbo Series 2. Only 1,635 examples of this special series were produced, of which only 104 Turbo Cup models were reserved for the French market. Our 944 Turbo Cup is one of these rare pearls, delivered new in France.
