In 1985 some major changes occurred to the 944 which included ergonomic changes as well as air conditioning, an upgraded alternator, change in the oil sump capacity, aluminum control arms, a larger fuel tank, power seats, a larger starter, and changes to the transaxle to name just some of the changes that occurred.
1987 was the release of the super version or the 944S which came with ABS, dual air bags, and more power with the first sixteen valve engine and some other minor improvements.
1988 saw the 944 Turbo S hit the market with the 250 bhp and a standard slip differential. ABS became optional rather than standard equipment.
1989 saw the S dropped with all the S features becoming standard equipment. This was the only year that the 2.7 L engine was used. After that the 3 L engine was introduced and used right through to 1991.
The 1990's were suppose to introduce the third evolution of the 944 but when they began to put it all together they realized that there was so many changes that really they should just introduce a new model so the revamped 944 would become the 968 and it would debuted in 1992.
The Porsche 944 performance was a trait it was recognized for from beginning to end and it was a trait carried forward to the 968 too.
