I scanned a great article from a past issue of 911 & Porsche World magazine, the 944 Ultimate Buyer's Guide, for your reading pleasure. It's pretty good.

I also scanned and uploaded Buyer's Guides for the 924 CGT and 968 as well, you'll find them linked on the site.

The turbo was not called the 951 because it was the "most high-performance variant." It was called the 951 because that was Porsche's internal model designation for the 944 turbo project.

We know this why don't they? Has anyone else seen 994 as an internal model code? Or am I just uninformed?

Oops...I apologize for my last post, I didn't realize you were quoting the article.

Or what about this quote:

The 2.7-liter 944S from 1986 has the reputation of being the best four-cylinder model Porsche ever made.
