Offered here is a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo 5-Speed Manual, finished in Black over a Beige leather interior. Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.5-litre inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle with this US market car’s odometer showing under 126,000 miles; the car has been in Canada since 1996. The car received a top end rebuild and ECU replacement under previous ownership, and extensive maintenance under current ownership within the last year. It is offered by the seller with clean Carfax, the original owner’s manual, one set of keys, a new uninstalled high-flow catalytic converter, uninstalled Borla 3-inch muffler, extra door handles with tumblers, 2 sets of spare rear hatch struts and a box of spare parts including reference sensors, various electrical switches and brake pads in Toronto, ON. Ontario buyers, please note: this car comes with an Ontario Safety Standards Certificate.
The exterior is finished in the Porsche factory Black (Porsche Code L041) which was treated to a ceramic coating within the past year. Features of this 944 Turbo, referred to internally at Porsche as a 951, include a power-operated tilting and removable sunroof, body-coloured mirror caps, pop-up headlamps, front headlamp washers, front fog lamps, a rear spoiler, and a rear window wiper. The front end of the 951 distinguishes it from its naturally aspirated 944 brethren. The headlight relay, DME relay, door seals and hatch seals have all been replaced in the past 12 months. The seller notes the rear hatch struts are weak (2 sets of previously used spare struts included in the sale) and the lighting for the instrument cluster is inoperative.
This 944 Turbo is fitted with staggered 18” Porsche 996 Carrera II five-spoke alloy wheels finished in silver with Porsche branded center caps, wearing W-rated Maxtrek Maximus MI tires sized 225/40 in the front and 255/35 at the rear. The tires were installed in April 2024 and are shown with close ups in the gallery. Braking is by four-wheel discs, with Porsche-branded calipers visible through the wheel spokes. The seller advises that the brake system was flushed in 2024. The sway bar bushings and ball joints were also replaced in 2024. The suspension system features front MacPherson struts and rear semi-trailing arms; the car was factory-equipped with sport shocks front and rear (code 474). Photographs of the underbody and suspension components included in the gallery.
The interior is upholstered in Beige leather with matching Beige carpeting, door cards, and centre console with Black accent trim throughout the dashboard. Equipment includes power windows, power-adjustable side mirrors, power adjustable driver’s seat, and an aftermarket Sony “Xplod” head unit (Model #CDX-GT350S). The set of keys included with the sale does not work with the passenger door handle; an extra pair of door handles and tumblers which would need to be rekeyed are included with the sale. Cruise control (factory option code 454) is equipped.
The three-spoke Porsche 930 Club Sport steering wheel fronts a full factory VDO instrument panel, which includes a centrally mounted 170 MPH speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,400 RPM redline. Additional instrumentation includes gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, turbo boost, oil pressure, and battery voltage. The centre stack houses a headlight washer switch, rear window defroster, ventilation controls, a hazard light switch, and a digital clock. The air conditioner blows cold.
This 944 Turbo’s powerplant is a turbocharged and intercooled 2.5-litre inline-four. The seller reports extensive maintenance completed in 2024 and 2025, including a full timing belt service with replacement front-end seals, installation of a new water pump and radiator, coolant flush, replacement of oil cooler gaskets, alternator, diverter valve, knock sensor, and engine mounts. The car currently has installed a catless downpipe and 3” muffler, with an uninstalled new high-flow catalytic converter and an uninstalled Borla 3” muffler included in the sale. The owner relays that maintenance prior to current ownership included a top-end engine rebuild and ECU replacement.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transaxle and is factory-equipped with a limited slip differential. Drivetrain service in 2024 included a transmission fluid flush, new sway bar bushings and new ball joints. The suspension system features front MacPherson struts and rear semi-trailing arms, with photographs of the underbody and suspension components included in the gallery.
