Classic Car Overview
Here we have a 944 that absolutely pegs the fun meter thanks largely to an engine swap to a muscle-bound 6.2-liter LS3 V8 crate motor that makes nearly triple the output of the original inline four. Yes, we have dyno numbers.
But this is not just an engine swap; this amazing restomod also features upgraded suspension, brakes and interior components that stay true to the 944s mission of being an incredibly well-rounded sports car. Only now it also sports acceleration thatll pin you to the seat when you lean into it. A stack of receipts and even a PowerPoint presentation detailing this cars no expense spared restomod journey are included.
From top to bottom and front to back, this 944 restomod shows a high level of quality. The mostly original gray finish looks great, and the upgrade to 944 Turbo body components, such as the smoother front end, make for a sharper and more aggressive look in keeping with this cars personality.
Inside, its the same story with the upgrade to Sparco racing seats and steering wheel. They even reskinned the dash and console with handstitched suede which further adds to the Porsches massive appeal. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD audio system with satellite radio capability also comes along for the ride.
Out on the road this car is essentially an amusement park ride you drive. Throttle response is crisp and linear, and when you lean into it and run up through a few gears youd swear the car has had an F-15s afterburners installed. Yet all that power is easily controlled and the athletic, well-rounded handling and strong braking the 944 is known for are still here as well.
