In 1988 Porsche built 1,635 examples of the 944 Turbo S.
That is the entire production run.
One model year for one car.
250 HP from the 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder.
Most of them left the factory in Silver Rose metallic.
0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds made it the fastest production four-cylinder car in the world at the time.
It was also faster than the 911 Carrera of the same year, which ran to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
Porsche's own factory test drivers reportedly lapped the Nordschleife faster in the Turbo S than in the contemporary 911.
A front-engined, four-cylinder Porsche that was quicker than the 911.
The rarest 944 ever built, and the one that made the 911 Carrera look slow.

Alpina took the E39 528i and turned it into something BMW didn't offer.
The B10 3.2 used a 3.2L straight-six producing 260 HP rebuilt by Alpina with enlarged pistons, their own intake manifold, and a bespoke exhaust system.
It wasn't the most powerful B10 - the V8 versions sat above it.
But the 3.2 had something the V8 didn't - a five-speed manual gearbox, a free-revving straight-six that asked to be worked, and a chassis tuned by Alpina specifically around that engine's character. Comfortable enough for daily use, involving enough to remind you why you bought it.
Not as loud as an M5.
Just a very well sorted, very rare E39 that almost nobody knows exists.
And it was cheaper to buy and more fun than a 540i at the time and compares well against the Volvo 850 R too.
