REVIEW:

We got to work with this Porsche 944 Hastcback; where we had to do a complete inspection of the body to detect the degree of defects found in the car’s paint. In this report it was confirmed that in several scanned points, significant wear was found; which had to be considered when starting the paint correction. With this report we were able to plan how to control the correction in certain parts that we found body sandpaper defects, serious scratches, gloss wear on the original single-layer paint of this Porsche 944, as well as lack of paint due to wear and tear over the years. The most important thing is the final result, where the original shine of the paint could be rescued when it left the dealership in its year of sale.

Work Time: 3.5 days.

PORSCHE 944 HASTHBACK OVERVIEW:

After three decades of producing rear-engined, air-cooled cars, Porsche began experimenting with more mainstream configurations in the late 1970s with an eye towards mass appeal. The Stuttgart company released a series of front-engine, water-cooled cars, first with the 924 in 1976, then with the 928 in 1978. The Porsche 944 appeared in 1982 as a more performance-oriented take on what the 924 initiated.

While the 924 was most often criticized for uncharacteristic performance courtesy of its Audi four-cylinder, Porsche equipped the 944 with a more powerful alloy 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.

So read the verdict from Car magazine’s memorable comparison test of the then-new Porsche 944 Turbo against the Carrera 3.2 from its March 1985 issue – the writer, one Georg Kacher, a motoring journalist of such long-standing in Germany that he has become something of a household name in a nation that is obsessed with the automobile and the health of its home-grown automotive industry.
