The Porsche 944 was the third Porsche model to feature a transaxle set-up, a pretty significant departure from the brand’s well-known 911. In 1987 the US Porsche 944 Turbo was one of the first cars ever to include both driver and passenger airbags. Porsche also developed a race version of the car which often leads to better consumer versions. This 944 Turbo is listed for sale for $18,000 on Facebook in Spokane, Washington.

Some of the most distinguishing features of these 944s are the pop-up lights and aggressive front end.

The interior is finished in a stunning factory burgundy inline with the car’s Turbo trim level. The burgundy is ubiquitous throughout the entire cabin. The interior is in exceptional condition.

The car came equipped with cruise control, power-adjustable seats, and power windows.

A turbocharged and intercooled 2.5 liter inline-4 sends 220 horsepower to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transaxle.

This car would be a great weekend driver or addition to an existing Porsche enthusiast’s collection.
