The owner currently has two 944s and chose to make a new version on the second one to create a difference compared to the original.
The Porsche 944 is a sports car produced in Germany from 1982-1991, including the coupe and convertible versions. This model inherits the Porsche 924 but was developed by the company itself instead of using the Audi engine of the previous generation, aiming for a more competitive price at the time of launch.
In terms of design, the Porsche 944 stands out with the "frog eye" headlights typical of sports cars from the 1980s-1990s. When the lights are turned on, the headlight cluster will be turned up, but when turned off, it will be hidden below.
In the car that has just been revealed in Vietnam, the original cluster of lights has been replaced with round lights, the rear of the car has also been remade in another style. The owner said the change was to make his own mark because he had previously owned a genuine 944 car.
The body of the vehicle is covered in black leather, while the remaining details remain intact. This Porsche 944 uses an automatic transmission.
During the production phase, the Porsche 944 was classified as a high-performance sports car. The model is equipped with a 2.5L, 2.7L or 3.0L I4 engine, with an automatic transmission or manual transmission, for a capacity of 150 to 250 horsepower depending on the version.
In addition to the operational factor, the 944 is considered more practical than many sports cars of the same period thanks to its extended luggage compartment and rear seats that can be used for storage.
