  Porsche 944 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was introduced in 1982 to replace the Porsche 924 as their entry level model, although the two cars were sold in parallel for a number of years.
In 1985 Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo, a higher-performance variant, known internally as the 951.
Porsche quickly rethought their plans, and shifted development from a 944 S3 to a car that would replace the 944 entirely, dubbed 968.

Ferdinand Porsche's grandson, Ferdinand Piëch, was chairman and CEO of the Volkswagen Group from 1993 to 2002.
Porsche returned to F1 again in 1991 as an engine supplier, however this time with disastrous results: Porsche-powered Footwork cars failed to score a single point, and failed to even qualify for over half the races that year; Porsche has not participated in Formula One since.

 Project Porsche 951
To distinguish it from the normally aspirated 944, the Porsche 944 Turbo is also known as the 951, similar to how Porsche distinguishes different model years of the 911, such as 993 and 996.
In 1989, all 951s were built as S-spec cars, though Porsche no longer called it a Turbo S but referred to it as a 944 Turbo.
In the case of the 951, one should be aware of any leaks, especially one from the oil pan gasket.

 Virtual garage - Porsche 944 turbo
This 951 was built in 1997 and has covered 160000 miles (the car was originally sold in Las Vegas).
The repairs on this car apart from classic 944 problems (steering, motor mounts, clutch) were mainly to do with the exhaust (cracking, welding, cracking again, welding again, cracking...) and the torque tube (faulty bearings).
The picture shows one off its duties as the fastest camera platform in Belgium (loaded up with a digital betacam in the back, control units in the passenger seat and three people on board, this setup was used to record a Mercedes on the move).

 SSI Service & Performance - Project Porsche 951   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Initially, Porsche announced that only 1,000 of these vehicles would be made, and less than half of those would be made available for sale in North America.
We chose the Porsche 944 as a base for our project car for many reasons, the first of these being the wide availability of the 944, which is often called the "poor man's Porsche" because of its relatively low cost and accessibility to a wide range of enthusiasts.
We hope to dispel this negative connotation and show the Porsche 944 to be a good choice as a viable base on which to build a high-performance automobile.

 Porsche 951 Project Car Update - Testing Speed Force Racing's Stage 2 header system - european car Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The question for Project 951 was whether we would get more top-end horsepower and more midrange torque with a given exhaust header.
It will fit 951, S2 and 968 Porsches, and it's a 4-into-2-into-1 setup, similar to the factory unit and also the B&B header system that was on Project 951 up until this point.
Initially Richards was concerned that Project 951 would be losing some low- and midrange torque with the 4-into-1 headers, since it is essentially supposed to shift the power curve to the right.
