Based on the 924, the 944 was developed in 1982 with wider wheel-arches and a 2.5L Inline-4. Upon it's release, the 944 effectively split the market, and 924 sales started to drop for the first time.
They both remain best-sellers throughout the mid-80s, with constant engine revisions, and a Turbo model introduced in 1986. Final engine sizes by 1988 are 3.0L, with the Turbo receiving an all-new 5-Speed transmission.
