Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet

The 944 S2 Cabriolet represents Porsche's final evolution of the transaxle era, combining the sophisticated 3.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder with open-air motoring. Producing 211 horsepower, the S2's enlarged displacement and revised heads delivered the smoothest power delivery in the 944 lineage. Only produced for 1989-1991, these convertibles are significantly rarer than their coupe siblings, with just over 3,000 examples built worldwide. The electrically-operated soft top and reinforced chassis maintained the 944's excellent weight distribution while adding grand touring appeal. Today, clean S2 Cabriolets command premium prices as collectors recognize them as the most refined naturally aspirated 944. The combination of rarity, open-top driving pleasure, and the end-of-era significance makes these cars increasingly sought after. Well-maintained examples with documented service histories are particularly prized, as the complex electrical systems and aging soft tops require careful attention.
