Description

After years of dominating endurance racing, Porsche took a bold step forward in 1986 with the introduction of a a seven car run of 944 Turbos, purpose built for the SCCA Escort Endurance Racing Series. Delivered to Holbert Porsche, the U.S. importer, and later sold to Sewickley Porsche, this car was actively campaigned from 1986 to 1988, making its mark in the highly competitive endurance circuit.

Our Take:
  • Factory-Built Racer: The 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo you're looking at isn't your typical road-going model; it was part of a special seven-car series tailored specifically for endurance racing by Porsche themselves. It's not everyday you come across a vehicle that raced under the expertise of legendary drivers like Derek Bell and Bill Adam, especially with such a purposeful configuration straight from the factory floor.
  • Unique Technical Features: This car came out of the gate with an array of specialized components like a magnesium intake manifold and oil pan, demonstrating Porsche's commitment to performance and weight savings. Those modifications, along with a racing suspension and a factory roll cage, weren't just for show—they enabled this 944 Turbo to hold its own (and then some) on the track.
  • Racing Pedigree: The fact that it was originally delivered to Holbert Porsche and later raced competitively highlights its bona fides in the motorsport world. With such a rich history in endurance racing and an extensive restoration, this car is like a time capsule—it's as if you're getting a ticket to the heyday of SCCA racing.
  • Precious Preservation: Retaining its original factory race motor and transmission truly elevates its status among collectors. As if its storied racing past wasn't enough, the car's time on display at the Porsche Experience Center underscores its significance. This isn't just a piece of machinery; it's a slice of Porsche heritage looking for its next caretaker.
