The Porsche 944 arrived in 1982, building on the transaxle platform established by its 924 predecessor but with a significant upgrade: an all-new, Porsche-designed 2.5-liter inline-four engine. This marked a pivotal moment, as it was the first production Porsche to feature a water-cooled front-engine with cylinders arranged in a straight line, rather than a V configuration. The 944 quickly earned acclaim for its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, achieved by placing the gearbox at the rear, resulting in handling dynamics that rivaled more expensive sports cars of its era. Its wider, flared fenders, a nod to the 924 Carrera GT, gave it a more aggressive stance, cementing its place as a true enthusiast's Porsche and a sales success throughout the 1980s. This beautifully preserved 1986 Porsche 944 Automatic, finished in a striking Copenhagen Blue, embodies the model's enduring appeal with just 52,935 miles on the odometer. Power comes from the original 2.5L gas inline-four engine paired with an automatic transmission, offering a smooth and engaging driving experience. This particular example is notable for its uncommon factory slicktop configuration, providing a clean, uninterrupted roofline that enthusiasts often seek. Further enhancing its period correctness and desirability are the iconic Fuchs alloy wheels and the distinctive Porsche-script interior, all contributing to its near-excellent overall condition. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained 944 that perfectly captures the essence of 1980s Porsche performance and style.
