The Porsche 944 Turbo, introduced in 1985, represented the pinnacle of the transaxle-era Porsches, building on the success of the naturally aspirated 944. It brought genuine performance credentials to the platform, thanks to its turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine, which initially produced 217 horsepower. This made it a formidable competitor to many more expensive sports cars of its day, earning praise for its balanced chassis, excellent handling, and everyday usability. While often overshadowed by its 911 brethren, the 944 Turbo carved out its own niche, proving that a front-engined Porsche could deliver an authentic, thrilling driving experience. This particular 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo transcends its factory origins, having been transformed into a show-quality, one-off custom build. It wears a distinctive blend of period-correct modifications from two legendary German tuners: a Strosek nose seamlessly integrated with Gemballa rear bodywork, creating an aggressive and unique aesthetic. Underneath its striking exterior, this build benefits from the expertise of Lindsey Racing and A&C Underground, suggesting a comprehensive approach to performance and finish. With an astonishingly low 1,533 miles on the odometer, this manual coupe presents an opportunity to acquire a truly bespoke 944 Turbo. This Strosek and Gemballa-bodied 944 Turbo represents a singular vision of a high-performance, custom-tailored Porsche.
