Negative. Airbags were only standard on AMERICAN market cars between 1987 and 1989.

There are many Canadian, European and Japanese 944 turbo S cars without airbags at all. Additionally the 944 turbo continued to sell in 1990 and 1991 outside of America. You can still find a few 1990 951's in Canada.

first thing I noticed: not a Turbo S, unless for some reason overseas they came with '86 steering wheels and non-air bag dashes.

Ok, now I read above. no flaming necessary.

I'd say it's time for some better rubber. Look like he's running on some old hard hockey pucks...
