The 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo represents the highest level of performance the 944 model line ever reached. For 1989, the 944 Turbo retained all the features of the 944 Turbo S, except the “S”. The ”S” model was built to the specifications of Porsche’s European Cup car. This included 30 more horsepower, larger brakes, larger sway bars, a limited-slip differential, and ABS. Many will attest to the 944 Turbo’s performance being that of a supercar at a sportscar price. Delivering almost 250 horsepower from its four-cylinder 8-valve 2.5-liter engine, it will do a quarter mile in about 14 seconds, 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 162 mph. All of which beat a 911 Turbo in 1989. Even though quite affordable today and readily available, the experience you get in Forza 4 will give you a taste without having to sign paperwork.
