The Porsche 944 sports car was in production between 1982 and 1991 and was available in two body styles: two-door coupe and two-door convertible. Three engine choices were available during its entire production run, namely 2.5L I4, 2.7L I4 and 3.0L I4.

Significant changes were incorporated to the Porsche 944 in 1985 such as new front and rear cast alloy control arms and semi-trailing arms, embedded radio antenna, a new dash and door panels, optional heated and powered seats, upgraded alternator (from 90 amp to 115 amp), revisions in the mounting of the transaxle to reduce noise and vibration, increased oil sump capacity, “phone dial” style wheels, and larger fuel tank.

The Porsche 944’s engine was upgraded in 1989 to the 2.7 liter motor with a just slight increase in horsepower but significant boost in torque. The new engine of the 1989 Porsche 944 also sported larger valves in addition to its higher displacement.

Porsche 944 VS For Mustang

An entry-level sports car, the Porsche 968 was manufactured from 1992 to 1995. It replaced the 944 as Porsche AG’s entry-level sports car. The 968 shares 20% of the Porsche 944’s parts, and is powered by an upgraded version of the 944’s straight-4 engine.

The Porsche 968 motor is a 3.0L engine producing 240 PS (236 hp/177 kW). At its introduction, the 968 had the second largest four-cylinder engine among production cars. The powertrain in the 968 had several major changes from that in the 944. Included in these changes were the addition of a dual-mass flywheel, updated engine management electronics, a variable valve timing system, and an optimized induction and exhaust systems.

Styling of the 968 features designs from other earlier Porsche models such as the swooping headlights of the Porsche 959. Coupe and convertible are the body style choices for the Porsche 968. A lighter Club Sport version was also offered in 1993–1995 for those who want increased track performance.

Porsche 968 Review

Porsche AG first manufactured its Boxster, a mid-engined roadster, in 1996 and was introduced as a 1997 model. The first-generation Porsche Boxster came powered with a 2.5L flat six-cylinder engine.

The Boxster S variant was launched in 2000 featuring a larger 3.2L motor and the base model’s engine was upgraded to a more powerful 2.7 liter motor. Styling and engine output were again upgraded on both versions in 2003.

A new generation of Porsche Boxster models rolled off the assembly line in 2005. This was the 987 which was even more powerful than the previous version and its styling based on the Carrera GT. In 2007, engine output was increased again with both Boxster models receiving the engines from their corresponding Porsche Cayman iterations.

Several mechanical and cosmetic upgrades were incorporated into the Porsche Boxster models in 2009, resulting in better looks as well as increased performance and engine output.

Base MSRP for New Porsche Boxster: $48,100
Estimated Price Range for Used Porsche Boxster: $6,800-$45,500
Estimated MPG for Porsche Boxster: 19 City/27 Hwy

A five-seat mid-size luxury sport utility vehicle, the Porsche Cayenne was launched in the North American market in 2003 with a diesel variant introduced in 2009. It shares its platform with the Volkswagen Touareg.

The Cayenne was the first vehicle built by Porsche with a V8 engine option since 1995. It has a front-engine layout and operates on four-wheel drive. A 3.6-liter VR6 engine powers Cayenne’s base model capable of producing 290 hp (220 kW). Exhaust manifold modifications enable power to peak at 6700 rpm. The base Porsche Cayenne can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.5 seconds with manual transmission.

There are several versions of the Cayenne: the 8-cylinder engined Cayenne S with a variable valve timing and dry-sump lubrication system; the GTS powered by a 405-hp 4.8L V8 and features a sports suspension; and the Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S. The 450-hp Turbo accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds. The Turbo version relies on a twin-turbocharged 4.8L V8 motor that turns out 500 bhp (370 kW) of power and torque of 700 n-M.

Porsche Cayenne Review

The Porsche Cayman, a rear-wheel drive, mid-engined two-seat sports car, was launched in the 2006 model year after two years of development. Its coupe body design was derived from the second generation Porsche Boxster convertible.

Aside from the mid-engine platform, the Cayman also shares the Boxter’s fenders and trunk lid, taillights, headlights, side doors, front and forward portion of the interior. Two classic Porsches, the 904 coupe and the 550 coupe also served as the basis for the Cayman’s body design.

There are three flat-6 engine options for the Porsche Cayman, 2.7L, 2.9L and the 3.4L displacements. The 3.4L configuration is available for the Cayman S variant that was used in the Boxter S but with cylinder heads derived from the 3.8L motor of the Porsche 997. The 2.7L M97.20 engine, less powerful but more fuel efficient, powers the base model. The transmission on the base Cayman is a five-speed manual transaxle. A six-speed manual goes as the default transmission for the Cayman S.

Base MSRP for New Porsche Cayman: $51,900
Estimated Price Range for Used Porsche Cayman: $15,000-$50,000
Estimated MPG for Porsche Cayman: 18 City/26 Hwy
