The Porsche 944 S2 represents the zenith of the naturally aspirated 944 lineage, a model born in the early 1980s to bridge the gap between the entry-level 924 and the flagship 911. With its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, thanks to a front-mounted engine and rear-mounted transaxle, the 944 quickly earned a reputation for exceptional balance and handling. The S2, introduced in 1989, brought a significant upgrade: a 3.0-liter, 16-valve inline-four engine, making it the largest production four-cylinder at the time. This powerplant produced a robust 208 horsepower, giving the S2 a substantial boost in performance over its predecessors and cementing its status as a sophisticated grand tourer with genuine sporting credentials. This 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Convertible embodies the model's ultimate form, offering the open-air experience alongside its renowned driving dynamics. Showing a remarkably low 47,730 miles, this example is powered by its potent 3.0-liter inline-four engine paired with a crisp manual transmission, promising an engaging and unadulterated driving experience. The convertible body style, a less common variant, adds a layer of desirability, allowing occupants to fully appreciate the engine's note and the thrill of the road. For the enthusiast seeking a meticulously maintained example of Porsche's transaxle era, this 944 S2 Convertible presents an compelling opportunity.
