The 1989 Porsche 944 belongs to the model's second and last generation, which ran from 1982 to 1991. This rear-wheel-drive sports car came with a 5-speed manual or 3-speed automatic transmission. It was powered by a 2.7L I4 engine as standard, generating 165 horsepower, while the Turbo variant houses a more potent 2.5L Turbocharged I4, yielding an impressive 247 horses. Notable features of the 944 include its near-perfect weight distribution due to the transaxle layout, offering sublime handling. While it didn't pack the high-tech infotainment features of today, it focused on delivering a true driver-focused experience, a philosophy that still echoes in Porsche's lineup today.
