1986 Porsche 944 Turbo original vintage advertisement.
DESCRIPTION:
Impossible.
Those of you who appreciate the fact that a difference of 1.8 seconds in the quarter-mile is roughly akin to the difference between night and day, will appreciate the car you see here.
The new Porsche 944 Turbo.
Because if the performance of its normally aspirated cousin can be described as exhilarating, the performance of this machine almost defies description.
Early in its development our engineers, true to their philosophy that pursuit of the impossible is what makes life interesting, set themselves a goal: a 50% increase in horsepower from an already powerful 4-Cylinder engine, without in any way compromising driveability, reliability or exhaust emissions.
The result? A 50% increase in horsepower, of course.
From 143 to 217.
Putting it in the same class as our own 6-cylinder 911 Carrera.
Out on the test track this kind of power translates into such heady figures, versus the non-turbo, as these: Zero to 60 in 6.1 seconds, down from 8.3. A standing quarter-mile of 14.4 seconds, down from 16.2. And a top speed of 152 mph, up from 131.
And all of the above accomplished without sacrificing a single statistic to effective emissions control. In fact, the 944Turbo is the first car ever made whose catalyst and non-catalyst models produce exactly the same power.
By this time it should be obvious to all of you that the 944 Turbo isn’t simply a 944 with a turbine and its
associated plumbing bolted on.
It is, for all intents and purposes, a new car— rethought and reengineered to meet very different criteria for performance and handling. By a company which Car and Driver magazine confirms,"can legitimately lay claim to more turbocharging experience than any other manufacturer in the world."
And how did our engineers manage to extract such a prodigious amount of power from turbo technology that was already state-of-the-art? By thinking beyond
the mechanics of the turbo unit itself.
Inside the engine, for example, new forged aluminum pistons and
hollow stemmed, sodium filled exhaust valves compensate for the increased internal loads brought about by turbocharging. And special ceramic liners in the exhaust ports allow considerably more exhaust energy to reach the turbine.
The destructive effects of heat have plagued turbocharged engines for years. Yet it took Porsche’s engineers to see the simple logic of mounting the turbine on the cooler intake side of the engine rather than the hotter exhaust side. And to recognize the advantage of incorporating two separate water cooling systems to dissipate heat from the turbine bearings, even after the engine is turned off. To maintain the crucial balance between performance and handling,
important changes were made in the rest of the car as well.
Aerodynamically, the 944 Turbo is significantly different from the 944. (If you look closely, you can see the difference.)
The sleek new nose design up front, plus a unique underbody spoiler in the rear, meet the Turbo’s more pressing need to control lift and drag. The flush-mounted front bumper and windshield further reduce wind resistance, while contoured body panels
