Zia's Porsche 944 Turbo 951 Pictures

The base car started out as a (white 220bhp) 1986 944 Turbo. The aim of the project was to produce a "350bhp daily driver" that could be used practically about town but could have the handling, braking and performance required for driving on open roads. It was also important for the car to look purposeful and up-to-date, yet have a slightly 70s 'muscle car' feel about it.
