8. Porsche 944 Turbo
Eight on our list and next in line is a car manufactured by the German company Porsche, the 944 Turbo.
The 944 is a luxury sports car built by Porsche from 1982 to 1991, and featured the same platform as the 924, which remained in production until 1988.
But the 944 Turbo was built as the 1985 model year, and had a turbocharged and intercooled version of the standard car’s engine that produced 217 bhp.
Tested by “Car and Driver”, the 944 Turbo was able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.9 seconds.
The Turbo version of the Porsche 944 featured several changes, such as improved aerodynamics, notably an integrated front bumper.
It was the world’s first car using a ceramic port liner to retain exhaust gas temperature and new forged pistons.
