1989 Porsche 944 Turbo S VIN: WP0AA2953KN150590 Engine No.: 47K01014 - Matching Transmission No.: A0R05108 - Matching Porsche Classic Technical Certificate One of only 1,685 Turbo S models built worldwide This highly desirable 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo is finished in Black over a Black partial-leather interior. It combines the performance specification derived from the limited-production 944 Turbo S with exceptional documentation and extensive recent mechanical and cosmetic work. For 1988, Porsche introduced the limited-production 944 Turbo S as a significant performance upgrade over the standard 944 Turbo. Its specification included a 250-hp M44/52 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four, reinforced five-speed manual transmission with a heavier-duty clutch, external transmission cooler and limited-slip differential, wider forged Club Sport wheels, larger 928 S4-derived front brakes with four-piston Brembo calipers and 304mm rotors, standard ABS, and the M030 sport suspension package with progressive-rate springs, larger anti-roll bars and adjustable Koni dampers. These upgrades transformed the Turbo S into one of the most capable and desirable versions of the 944. For 1989, Porsche carried the Turbo S's 250-hp powertrain into the regular 944 Turbo, making the Turbo S specification the basis for the new model year's performance configuration. This example was produced in November 1988 and delivered on January 9, 1989, by Huntington Autohaus Ltd. (Porsche Audi VW) in Huntington Station, New York. According to the Porsche Classic Technical Certificate issued by Porsche Ontario, the car has its original M44/52 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine and G016R five-speed manual transmission, both visually confirmed to match the original records. Factory equipment includes: C02 - U.S. Standard Emissions 454 - Cruise Control 490 - Sound Package 494 - Additional Amplifier 650 - Electric Adjustable Sunroof 691 - CD-2 CD Player with Radio 946 - Partial Leather Seats, Front The paintwork is in beautiful condition, with excellent panel fit and gaps. In September 2024, the car received a comprehensive cosmetic detail, including refinishing all four wheels to their factory finish and detailing the interior and exterior. The interior remains original in character, with the front seats professionally upholstered in Black perforated leather by Roberto's Trim in March 2025. On May 28, 2025, Porsche Ontario performed a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate inspection at 68,362 miles. The certificate documents the Black exterior, Black partial-leather interior, U.S.-market equipment, and Goodyear tires as recorded in the original delivery data. Porsche also confirmed that the engine and transmission numbers match the original records. The inspection described the car as being in excellent overall condition, with no visible body damage, an interior that presents exceptionally well for its age, no visible engine leaks, minimal rotor wear, and no suspension work required. The current owner acquired the car from Auto Kennel in Costa Mesa, California, on November 20, 2020, with 62,800 miles. Since then, more than $49,000 in documented service and restoration work has been performed, including engine work, cooling-system service, seat upholstery, sunroof repairs, wheel refinishing, power-steering repairs, tires, alignment, air-conditioning service, wheel bearings, timing-belt service, shocks, brakes, and engine mounts. C&amp;F Auto in Costa Mesa performed extensive work beginning in December 2020, including rear shocks, brake rotors and pads, engine mounts, and front-shock adjustment. In April 2021, C&amp;F replaced the front and rear wheel bearings, drive belts, and sunroof cable. In December 2021, C&amp;F replaced the leaking oil-pressure switch and performed an oil service.
