(Please note: If you happen to be viewing this Porsche 944 Turbo on a website other than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only seen some of our many photographs of the car due to third-party website limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 155 photographs, as well as a short start-up and walk-around video, and a link to the 944 Turbo's accident-and-damage-free Carfax history report, please go to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.)
"For lunch it prefers Ferraris, although it has been known to snack on Corvettes" -1986 Porsche 944 Turbo magazine ad
That famous Porsche 944 Turbo advertisement went on to tell the whole story: "It seems there is some confusion these days about what is and what isn't a performance car. Such are the excesses of advertising, unfortunately. But let's get one thing clear. The automobile you are looking at on this page is one of the four fastest production cars in the world. Period. The Porsche 944 Turbo. Exactly how fast is it? Faster in both acceleration and top speed than a Ferrari 328 or a 1988 Chevrolet Corvette." No wonder so many 944 Turbo owners display a copy of the ad (still available online, by the way) in the documents file they keep for their car.
The Porsche ad really was truth in advertising, as the unbiased Hemmings folks verified: "The turbocharged, eight-valve, 2.5-liter engine in the 944 Turbo provided a 217 hp wallop for its drivers, and with 243-lb.ft. of torque, more than a hundred pound-feet better than the original normally aspirated car. With suspension and brake upgrades to go along with the added power, the 944 Turbo's zero to 60 time under six seconds and top speed over 150 MPH had it knocking on the door of supercar territory."
Offered here in Alpine white over (Cancan) red is a properly maintained, excellent condition 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. The car's odometer shows 150,615 miles, or roughly a very conservative 4,303 miles per-year on average. Equally important, as the CarFax history shows, the car has received recent comprehensive service such that it offers its next owner many more satisfying miles ahead.
The car's VIN/Options sticker decodes as follows:
Color codes:
L90E – Alpine White
MJ – (Unknown rare 2-letter code; likely for "CanCan Red" as other cars with the same code feature various rare interior-leather colors)
Option codes:
CO2 – US Market
I82 – Unknown
018 – Leather steering wheel, raised hub, 380mm hub (not available w/airbags)
158 – Radio Blaupunkt "Monterey"/"Reno"
341 – Central locking system
348 – Forged wheels, Grand Prix White
650 – Sunroof
983 – Leather seats front (not rear)
The car's exterior single-stage paint-a Porsche manufacturing point of pride-remains in excellent condition across the body. The classic Porsche exterior color appeals to many Porsche enthusiasts because it showcases the many design cues on the cars, in this case: the horizontal round-ended air intakes on the lower front fascia; the bespoke rear-deck 944-trademark spoiler; the script rear-deck "turbo" designation; the top-right fender "turbo" decal, and of course, the Porsche hood crest. On this particular car, the black-finished OE "phone dial" wheels (showing off the Porsche-logo black brake calipers) can be added to the list for a "pure 944" visual statement. The body-panel alignment and fit is up to Porsche's high manufacturing standards. There are no dings, no dents, and no damage on the body. And no rust, in part due to the fully factory-galvanized body. Lightly tinted cabin glass (including the large, beautifully shaped rear hatch) is free of cracks or other damage; lighting lenses are similarly pristine. The previously mentioned stock wheels (with OE Porsche-crest centercaps) have been professionally refinished in black, and mounted with Bridgestone® Potenza performance tires.
