The 944 S2 is equipped with a Porsche 3.0 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Volkswagen 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Porsche.

The 944 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and torsion bar springs front and rear respectively.

944 S2 Statistics

The dimensions of the 944 S2 are 68.30 inches wide by 168.90 inches long. It sits a comfortable 50.20 inches off the ground. It seats a standard four passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 94.50 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The standard warranty period for the 944 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the convertible market.

The listed retail price in 1991 (MSRP) was $43,350, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1991 944 is a traditional Bosch Motronic, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 21.10 gallons.

The 944 S2 received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty six when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

Conclusion

The 1991 model year was unsuccessful for the Porsche 944. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the S2 version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
