Information On The Porsche 944 - 2

...It had the same basic engine but it was the intercooled version and of course it was turbo charged so you got a whopping 220 BHP at 6000 RPM.
1987 saw the introduction of the 944S - S standing for Super. This model had dual air bags and anti lock brakes as standard equipment. It also had the first 16 valve engine with 250 BHP.
1989 The S was no more to be with the equipment from the S model becoming standard on the 944 model. The engine was replaced to a 4 cylinder 2.7 liter engine.
In 1990 Porsche released the 944 Series 2 known as the S2. It was a revision of the 944S which had the aerodynamics of the 951. It was also the year the 16 valve 3.0 liter engine was introduced becoming the most popular engine ever in the 944. This 16 valve engine
