Description about Porsche 944

The Porsche 944 is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car, designed to replace the Porsche 924. It was introduced in 1982 as a new “entry level” model which was positioned below the 911 model.

The 944 is powered by the M30 engine (which was also used in Volkswagen models). The engine has four cylinders and twin overhead camshafts for both of the two valves per cylinder. It has an air-cooled design and displaces 2.7 litres (2,687 cc) with a bore of 82 mm (3.2 inches) and stroke of 72 mm (2.8 inches). The power output ranges from 100 horsepower to 200 horsepower, depending on what variant is selected; this makes it more powerful than the 924’s

It was designed to replace the company’s first model, the 924. The 944 went through several generational changes, including an evolution of styling and engines during production.
