Notes
The Porsche 944 Turbo, also known by its internal code 951, was the high-performance, turbocharged version of the 944, produced from 1986 to 1989. It featured a 2.5L inline-four turbocharged engine producing 217 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque at launch, thanks to a K26-6 turbocharger. The 944 Turbo was notable for being one of the first production cars to feature a computer-controlled engine management and boost system, which helped deliver smooth, consistent power.
The 951 had distinct exterior features, including a revised front bumper with integrated fog lights and an air intake, a rear diffuser, and upgraded "Phone Dial" wheels, giving it a sportier and more aggressive look. Inside, the Turbo shared the 944’s well-appointed interior, focused on driver ergonomics with an array of analog gauges, a central tachometer, and supportive sport seats.
