In 1987 Porsche debuted the 944 S, the “S” standing for “Super”. It looked sportier than its non-S version and had substantial modifications to both the interior and the engine and offered more performance to Porsche customers. Generally the 944 S was a higher performance version of the stock 944. Power was 190 bhp @ 6000 rpm and torque was a solid 170 lb-ft @ 4300 rpm. It was good enough to get the 944 S to sprint from 0 – 60 mph in 7 seconds flat and cover the quarter mike in 15.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 142 mph. It’s performance placed it right in between the standard 944 and the Turbo versions.
This particular example comes with Zermatt Silver Metallic finish and a black partial leather interior with an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, an electric tilt sunroof, power accessories, air-conditioning, a digital clock display, and a newer Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 radio with Bluetooth/USB connectivity.
Under the hood is a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder DOHC engine that sends up to 190 HP and 170 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. It offered more power and torque than the regular, 2-valves/ cylinder ones. The 2.5 L engine (M44/40) featuring a self-adjusting timing belt tensioner and this marked the first use of four-valves-per-cylinder heads and DOHC in the 944, derived from the 928 S4 featuring a redesigned camshaft drive, a magnesium intake tract/passages, magnesium valve cover, larger capacity oil sump, and revised exhaust system.
