1986 Porsche 944 Coupe

The Porsche 944 was produced over a nine-year period from 1982 through 1991. It was the replacement for the 924 and came with a number of improvements in terms of creature comforts and performance over its predecessor. The performance was increased even further in January of 1985 with the launch of the 944 Turbo. The 2.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine offered 220 horsepower. Changes included a new front apron to help aid aerodynamics and included integrated fog lights. The gearbox was strengthened, 16-inch wheels were made standard, and the car was fitted with a slightly stiffer suspension.

This particular example was delivered to its first owner through Porsche of Evansville, Indiana, in March of 1986. It had left the factory finished in Alpinweiss (Alpine White) which it still wears today. The car remained in Evansville until at least 2002, before being sold to an owner in Ohio. The current caretaker acquired the car in December of 2008, who had it immediately shipped to Switzerland, where it has remained ever since. Currently, the car has 21,549 miles on its odometer.

It has a white exterior, dark red interior, and white wheels. It has been upgraded with a modern stereo.
