Automotif CCCXLIII...


Here's a rare bird. The Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet was only officially imported into the US for the '90 and '91 Model years (although a handful of demo '89 models made their way here as well) so this is a 1-of-2,402 sighting.

There's another one in the neighborhood, too.

The ultimate naturally-aspirated iteration of the 944 design, the S2 featured a 3.0L DOHC 16V inline four, rated at 208bhp, a considerable bump from the original 944's 143 horse 2.5L SOHC 8V four banger.
