This car is nothing short of extraordinary having a turbocharged inline 4 cylinder engine. 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes. recaro racing seats and a roll cage. In late 1985 Porsche developed the 944 turbo cup car to provide amateur enthusiasts with a cost effective entry into motorsports. Although the cup cars were essentially standard production 944 turbos that were more lively and well suited for track use. the factory built competition machines were equipped with a magnesium oil sump. a smaller generator. stiffer suspension. reinforced gearbox. wider tires and modified engine components including a revised turbocharger.
