2022 marks the fortieth anniversary of the 944, the most successful Porsche product prior to the arrival of the Boxster and Cayenne SUV. To mark the occasion, this special issue of 911 & Porsche World presents a bounty of 944-themed content, including analysis of the design and evolution of the M44 water-cooled inline-four, a look back at the 944 Le Mans project, we shadow a 944 road trip from the south of England to Cape Town, enjoy time behind the wheel of a beautifully restored Maritime Blue 944 S2, present a 944 Turbo buying guide and much more besides. Elsewhere in the magazine, we bring together the 964 and 997, fan favourites regularly cited as best of the air-cooled and water-cooled eras of 911 production. Plus, we pay a visit to air-cooled Porsche restoration specialist, Canford Classics, marvel at a supercharged flat-six, catch up on Porsche's LMDh track testing, consider Amelia Island auction results, test the new Macan 2.0, examine the turbocharged version of the 917's Type 912 flat-twelve and get up close and personal with a rare 1974 Carrera 2.7. Fleet updates feature the RennEleven 996 Carrera and Johnny Tipler's sublime 987 Boxster S. Guest columns come from two Tims: Carrera Cup and BTCC hero, Tim Harvey, and owner of the Tim's Enthusiast Garage YouTube channel, Tim Neely.
Issue Summary:
Celebrating forty years of 944, this special issue of 911 & Porsche World presents star cars and valuable buying advice concerning one of the Stuttgart brand's most successful products.
Top 3 Issues:
BOLT FROM THE BLUE - Fully restored and dressed in a colour mostly associated with the legendary 964 Carrera RS, this gorgeously presented Maritime Blue 944 S2 is a perfect example of why sports cars from Porsche's transaxle range of products deserve your attention.
OPPOSITES ATTRACT - In terms of engineering and construction, the 964 and 997 are chalk and cheese on the 911 pantheon. Thanks to their individual attributes, however, both command a similarly powerful fan base. If you have the mind to, these Porsches can also be significantly modified, as we discovered on an Essex airfield shakedown.
IN THE LIMELIGHT - With a nod to hippy psychedelia, Porsche's colour palette in the late 1960s and early 1970s was as wild and edgy as they come, complementing evolutions in the 911's styling and engineering. This early Carrera 2.7 ticks all the boxes. What's more, it could be yours.
