The seller offers for sale this 1987 Porsche 944, powered by a 2.7-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in striking Guards Red over a dark interior, this coupé presents as a usable and engaging example of Porsche’s popular front-engined sports car. Indicating approximately 233,000 km, the car combines the distinctive wedge-shaped 944 styling with the practicality of a true daily-usable classic, and is offered with Dutch registration.
The Porsche 944 was introduced in 1982 as the evolution of the 924, gaining wider arches, a more muscular stance and Porsche’s own engine in place of the earlier Audi-sourced unit. Built around a transaxle layout, with the engine at the front and the transmission at the rear, the 944 achieved near-perfect weight distribution that gave it balanced, confidence-inspiring handling. It became one of Porsche’s best-selling models of its era and earned a strong reputation as an accessible yet genuinely capable sports car. The 2.7-litre variant offered improved torque over the earlier 2.5-litre engine, enhancing the car’s flexibility in everyday driving.
Behind the wheel, the 944 rewards with crisp steering, a planted chassis and the satisfying mechanical feel that defines Porsche’s transaxle cars. The pop-up headlights, integrated bumpers and broad rear haunches give the model an unmistakable 1980s presence that has aged into genuine collectibility. For enthusiasts seeking a classic Porsche with real driving appeal and everyday usability, the 944 continues to represent one of the most rewarding ways into the marque. This Guards Red example offers an attractive starting point for a new owner to enjoy and develop.
