The 944 started it's life as a direct evolution of the 924, which had it's Audi engine and wasn't really considered a real Porsche.
The basic models were down to 150 hp. Then there was an S version, with upgraded engine, up to 180 or 190 and other details. Then came the Turbo and S2. The S2 is visually a Turbo lookalike, taking all the body mods from it. But it's a naturally aspired 3 liters 4 pot, not a turbo
As for a Clubsport version, there wasn't an official one afaik. I might be wrong or it could be just somebody's private idea

Congrats TT, car looks like it is in great condition! Like I said in my other post, about 10 years ago, I was really close to buying one of these.
So what are your plans for mods?

Honestly, so far no mods aside from the muffler: it's my daily drive, not a track weapon or a ricer basis and I think it's a beautiful shape anyway as it is
BTW, today I had to pull a tank out of troubles

Ah dang, indeed those headlamps my fav moment every day is when I come back home in the evening and now it's getting dark sooner, so I have to light them up and I can admire that beautiful movement when they pop up
I admit I took quite a lot of pics so far but always with headlamps down.. will take some more I guess
BTW, the 944 has some pretty mad high beam lights: 4 of them! 2 in the main lights and two extra ones in the bumper beside the fog lamps! At night is like beeing in an Audi Quattro Group B beast

I always enjoyed the pop up headlights. Ah, I still remember the days of the old Corolla . I hated the fact that both the NSX and the new Corvette switched over to glass enclosure headlamp systems. Yes they are more modern but there is just so much tradition w/ Popup headlamps.

I know ive missed the boat big time on this one TT, but congradulations on your first porsche! Ive always liked the S2 944's, theres something about those early 90's porkers that i love.
Looks like a really clean example youve got there as well dude, hope she provides you with many hours of joy!

Well, last time was at 80'000 km in 1997, I guess it was about time the car was privately owned and just displayed at the dealer as a try from the owner I picked it up as it was when the lady decided to sell.
Considering I covered an average close to 1000 km per week since I got it, I guess it's safe to service it as often as needed to keep it fit
