Appreciating model to treasure
Water cooled is on the move, the Porsche used car market is as
hot as this car looks and it's very rare to find this model let
alone in this superb condition, both the history and care is
nothing short of splendid. A turn key ready to perform Sports
car that will fit into any collection or be the main focal point
of classic ownership.
First registered and delivered on 04.01.1988 by Lancaster
Porsche in Colchester. The service records make very good
reading being maintained by OPC and other independents, the
service booklet is beyond full with a total of individual
services from 1988 to present day. Accompanying the stamped
service book is a folder of bills. The most recent keepers have
been lifelong Porsche enthusiasts and the car has attended
regular shows. You will struggle to find a better maintained
Silver Rose anywhere, it puts all other 944 examples to shame
with over £24,000 of bills in the last 12,000 miles.
M758 Special Model 944 Turbo 1988, Turbo S
Only 70 RHD Turbo S cars were produced from a total of some 1600
cars worldwide.
So what exactly is all the fuss about? Well if you ask Google
you'll find some good information and alot of spurious 'facts'
about how the special S model differed from the normal Turbo.
Lucky we have here on copy the 'Porsche Service: 944 Turbo S '88
information Technik', the booklet detailing all the technical
deviations from the standard model in great detail, this would
have been circulated to dealer service departments back in 1988.
The enclosed '88 Turbo S brochure has even more flavour,
presented in layman's terms for you and I, a quick glean through
the pages with some highlights noted below.
It says..
'The experience with the running gear of the 944 Turbo Cup cars
entered in racing events is transferred to the 944 Turbo S.
Handling produced with this very sporty running gear system has
led to less rolling and riding comfort'.
Engine power 184kW
K 26 - 2670 GGA 8.11 Turbo charger
Fuel & ignition curve families are different
Charge pressure is 70 mbar higher in full load range (1.82 bar
absolute pressure)
Exhaust valves are natrium cooled
Sport running gear M030 'Koni' can be adjusted infinitely to
individual applications
Front wheel brakes from the 928 S4
Stronger limited slip differential
Clutch disk cemented additionally, two stage steel damper
Body paint finish in 'silver rose metallic'
Interior in burgundy multicolour
Control arms rubber mounts are harder
Larger wheel hubs 2.85 mm longer
S version coil springs have a harder rating
Front axle stabiliser
Modified stub axles to take 928 S4 caliper
Several changes to rear suspension inc' rear torsion bar is 25.5
mm, harder mounts and 'Koni' shocks
Forged Club Sport anodised rims
Fender edges wrapped around towards the insides to accommodate
9" rear wheel (rolled rear arches as standard)
Reinforcement plates on side members and wheel housings give the
bodyshell additional strength, which in turn meant changes in
the engine compartment: relocated water hose to expansion tank,
relocated water hose to water pump in turbo charger cooling
circuit, relocated mount for ignition coil.
Clutch with integrated friction plates
Transmission external oil cooler
Limited slip diff has stronger 2.5mm inner plates (hardened 1st
and 2nd gear) & there is lots more about dedicated options codes
and variations in spec depending on the world market.. much too
much to list here.
Porsche Service: 944 Turbo S '88 information Technik
Turbo S technical deviations from the standard model (this is
from Porsche, not the internet)
Firstly the S model can be identified by the chassis and engine
numbers falling with a certain range.
Chassis number falls between WPOZZZ95ZJN100001 – 1875
Engine type M44/52 numbered within the range of 47J00001 –
47J01830
Engine power output increased to 184 kW / 250 HP at 6000 RPM
Maximum torque increased to 350 Nm / 249.9 ft. lbs. at 4000 RPM
Max. litre output 74.2 kW/ltr / 100.8 HP/ltr
Single plate dry clutch with wide angle torsion damper
Transmission type 016 R AOR with oil cooling system and modified
and hardened limited slip differential
Shock absorbers double pipe, low gas pressure shocks with
adjustable height & rebound stage from 'Koni'
Springs 124mm diameter top, 110 mm middle
Stabiliser pipe diameter 26.8 x 4 mm
Rear torsion bar diameter 25.5 mm
ABS brakes standard
Four piston calipers with 36 + 44 mm pistons (928 S4)
Brake discs 304mm, 32mm thickness
Club Sport wheel rims with Goodyear Eagle tyres
225/50 VR 16 7 J x 16 offset 65mm
245/45 VR 16 9 J x 16 offset 60mm
Track width front 1457 mm
Track width rear 1436 mm
Curb weight 1360kg / 1350kg (with/without catalytic converter)
Gross weight 1645kg / 1670kg (with/without catalytic converter)
Top speed 260 km/h / 162 mph
0-100 km/h 5.7 seconds
0-60 mph 5.5 seconds
Kilometer from standing start 24.5 seconds
1/4 mile from standing start 13.5 seconds
Fuel consumption city/highway/combined 20.7 34.6 25.3 mpg
It is worth noting that many of the above upgrades made it onto
the later '89 model cars as standard equipment while some items
were offered only as optional extras. The Cup car inspired items
remained exclusive to the M758 special model cars: the rigid
chassis strengthening plates (inc the collateral changes
required to the engine bay) and the hardened LSD gears for
example and the later cars had a sunroof where the S has a
sunroof deleted bodyshell for weight saving and rigidty and
there were the other weight saving items like the plastic
'Securiflex' windshield and the unique Club Sport forged rims
that never made it beyond the '88 S cars either.
Therefore, subtly it 'feels' different to the '86 and '89 Turbo
because the Turbo S is a Turbo Cup inspired car.
Condition
This rare Turbo S presents in superb condition with excellent
paint finish and a wonderful cabin as the many pictures and
video suggest. Original forged rims are in great order with good
premium tyres all round. All maintenance is up to date though we
would recommend doing the timing belt now based upon time passed
not mileage.
