Vehicle Description
1985 Porsche 944 5 spd. Black on black. I4 2.5L The car runs and
drives very well. PS, PB, AC. In original condition. Porsche
introduced the 944 for 1982. It was slightly faster than the 924,
the 944 was better equipped and more refined than the 924; it had
better handling and stopping power, and was more comfortable to
drive. The factory-claimed 0-60 mph time of less than 9 seconds
(8.3 seconds according to 'Porsche the Ultimate Guide' By Scott
Faragher). The factory-claimed top speed of 130 mph was also
pessimistic, Autocar having verified a top speed of 137 mph. The
car had nearly even front to rear weight distribution (50.7%
front/49.3% rear) thanks to the rear transaxle balancing out the
engine in the front.In mid-1985, the 944 underwent its first
significant changes. These included: a new dash and door panels,
embedded radio antenna, upgraded alternator (from 90 amp to 115
amp), increased oil sump capacity, new front and rear cast alloy
control arms and semi-trailing arms, larger fuel tank, optional
heated and powered seats, Porsche HiFi sound system, and revisions
in the mounting of the transaxle to reduce noise and vibration. The
front windshield was now a flush-mounted unit. The 'cookie cutter'
style wheels used in the early 944s were upgraded to new 'phone
dial' style wheels. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients
