Why the 944 Turbo is the Porsche you need to buy now - Classic Cars for Sale
Figures are the most important part of the 944 Turbo experience. Add an S to proceedings and you can shave off half a second on that crack to 60mph and you'll be going 160mph when you run out of tachometer. But perhaps the most important figure is the price – the one we've highlighted here may be one of the best in the country and its price reflects that – but you can pick up decent Turbos from as little as five large. Front-engined Porsches have always struggled to match the allure of the 911. the 928 is finally getting the recognition it deserves and now the 944 Turbo has started to creep upwards. That latter point is an interesting one as even though the 924 lacked an exotic engine, it really was an engaging steer. It was so well-built and so attainable that many have gone the way of dodgy modifications and rather ignoble ends, eventually rusting away to nothing when the junior supercar costs of keeping a junior supercar running became too much for owners... This all means that the 944 Turbo is nowhere near as numerate as it once was, and truly exceptional examples are starting to excite the market, given recent auction results. Quite simply, the very best are now the very few. Source: www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk
