This week a detailed look at the Porsche 944 Turbo - a car that managed to stay under the radar for far too long and has often been completely ignored by Porsche snobs!
Not for friend of the CarGuys, Barrie though, who has generously loaned us his pristine alpine white 1989 example for a full road test, a look at the carâs history, its engine, design and special features.
So join us for a full review of the Porsche 944 Turbo in which we answer: is now the time to buy one? Why itâs special? What can go wrong? How fast is it? And, would I add one to the CarGuysâ garage?
Thank you for watching

Just bought a 1989 turbo yesterday and itâs my start into Porsche vintage cars. Wish me luck guys

Regarding sunroof, it's not pointless you can remove it and put in the trunk, there is also Pilkington glass roof available.

Great memories. A chum of mine bought a turbo, after we had a Porsche day at Milbrook and Tim Harvey took us out in them, before we had a drive. Only regret is I didn't buy the car from his widow after he sadly died too young from cancer. Thank you.

I worked for the West Australian Porsche dealership in '86 when the 944 Turbo was launched. The first here was a metallic maroon colour. I was involved in its sale to Kim Ledger, father of Heath.
He bought it the day after it was given serious 'beanage' at Wanneroo Raceway on a customer drive day. He bought even though the front discs were warped after that event. Naturally, new brakes were fitted before delivery!

The sunroof on these is actually removable. So you end up with almost a targa type experience. If working properly you just need to hold down the sunroof closing button and it will unlatch in the back and you can lift it right out. Quite a cool feature really.

I had a 944 s2 20 odd years ago , Iâve found myself looking at the Turbo in the last few weeks .
I was surprised at how much they have appreciated in the last few years .
I still think they look great !
Edit : the sunroof lifts out altogether, definitely not pointless , itâs almost like a targa .

Itâs an awesome underrated car. I own a Porsche 944 S2 for 8 years now and still love it.

Viewer from Japan here. I've owned 964 Carrera 2 Manual, and 996.2 GT3 Clubsport, and currently drive an mildly tuned R32 GT-R (550bhp), but 944 turbo is one of my favourite Porsches.
Of course, the GR86 is wonderfully close in spirit, and comes with none of the headaches of owning a classic car. But if you don't have a FR turbo car? this may be great fun.

I owned a 1986 944 turbo in the early 1990, what a car. The handling was nearest at the time to perfection. 2 things the model you tried didnt have the sports seats which were fabulous and much better than standard. Also Porsche lied about the performance of the 944 turbo deliberatetly to make the 911 Carrera look better in brochure, but contemporary independent tests had 0-60 at 5.6 seconds as standard and better than 911 of the time.

Great video subject matter Damian. â¤

Absolutely fantastic car and brilliant video.

This was a nice review. I love that you mix the old with the new on your channel.

I Absolutely love my 951! 50/50 perfect weight ratio and handling track/road carving beast.
|
Great video Damian. A blast back to the 80s. Will likely be the greatest decade of my lifetime.

The real test of a Euro sports car is can you fit skis in it. A great review well filmed and it feels like I've actually been in the car.
|
I love that you made a video on the 944 turbo and looks like a very nice example but there are quite a few inconsistencies about that car .
|
Thanks for the video, love these old Porsches.

Good episode about a car I've always liked.
I drove a red 944 N/A back in the mid 80s and it was a lovely thing to drive with nice balance and good brakes.
@Damo...any chance you can get hold of a 924 Carrera GT to review? They are so nice but probably hard to find given their low build numbers and especially in RHD :/

When I was 24 years old back in 1987, A Porsche salesperson saw me looking over a red 944 Turbo with a beige interior. I was out running errands on a Saturday afternoon and I just stopped by the dealership to have a look at the 944 Turbo. A salesperson came up to me and casually asked me if I'd like to test drive itânone of that pushy car salesman BS, he just asked. I, of course, said yes. He told me something I'll never forget: "Don't worry, there's nothing you can do to hurt this car." He wanted me to relax and enjoy the car. I proceeded to fall in loveâthe handling, the brakes, the amazing shifter, and smooth as silk clutchâthe whole truly was greater than the sum of its parts. On an expressway in the middle of Silicon Valley, I got the car up to 110 MPH before I had to slow for a red light. The car was so stable and solid that it felt like 25 MPH on a residential street. At the end of the drive, the salesperson never asked me if I wanted to buy the carâthat wasn't his goal. His goal was to introduce a young man to Porsche and create a future Porsche customer. That's the day I fell in love with Porsches. The 944 Turbo will always have a special place in my heart. There truly is no substitute. Thanks for the memories, Damian.
