Porshe 944 turbo. Part 2

9:11 pm

All hail the great 944 Turbo! This is deffiently one of the most greastest cars of all time. The 944 Turbo is truly a magnificent sports car, in every way. The Turbo is brilliant around town but howls when let loose on the road. As you see, it is like a rocket it is so fast.

To begin with, the Porsche 944 Turbo differs from its lesser, normally aspirated counterpart in many ways. The most obvious is the body. When the Turbo first bowed in 1986, it carried a smooth front end with integrated fog lights and bumper. The rear was accented by a functional chin spoiler that wrapped under the bumper panel. The Turbo was made with 16″ wheels as opposed to 15″ for the regular 944. Inside, the Turbo had the fresh interior, which had just arrived in the 1985½ 944. The only difference was the boost gauge directly under the tach.

The crazy differences, however, lie under the hood. First and foremost was the new turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, still at 2.5 Liters. It output 217 horsepower at 5,800 rpm. The power has increased by 50% from the 944. In a run to the quarter mile, the Turbo is about 2 secs quicker than the regular 944. This boost of power was created without a single sacrifice in the emission department.
