1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet

The Porsche 944 was produced from 1982 to 1991 and received many upgrades and improvements over the years that it was produced. It was a front-engine, rear-wheel drive car and was available in a Coupe or a Cabriolet.

The 944 S2 was introduced in 1989 with the 944 S2 Cabriolet being the first 944 to be offered as a convertible. The car featured a high performance naturally aspirated engine with a capacity of 3.0L but the engine had dual-overhead cams with 16 valves, 4 valves per cylinder, which produced 155 kW – 15 kW more than the 2.5L 944S. The changes made to the 2.5L were retained in the 3.0L S2 engine such as a self-adjusting timing belt tensioner, a larger capacity oil sump, magnesium intake tract/passages, a magnesium valve cover and a revised exhaust system, to mention a few.

The DME was upgraded to the Bosch Digital Motronic system and the car also received progressive springs for improved handling, larger front and rear anti-roll bars as well as a revised transmission and improved gearing. Top speed was 240 km/h and zero to 100 km/h was tested at only 6.4 seconds. Not bad performance for a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder car!

This specific car is a 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet. The car has done about 184 000 kms since new. Finished in Maritime blue with blue interior, this 944 represents great value for money and a unique opportunity to own a rare and clean example of a 944 Cabriolet.
