The Porsche 944 was developed on the basis of the Porsche 924 and launched on the market in 1982. In contrast to the Porsche 924, the 944 had an engine developed by Porsche itself. In the case of the Porsche 944 S – which supplemented the Porsche portfolio from August 1986 – a 2.5 liter, 16 – valve engine that was highly modern for the time was even used.
