Porsche 944 and 944 turbo by strosek Though Porsche 924-944 were called "poor man's Porsche", still Strosek made some nice efforts on 944 look better, run faster and be safer. Changing all the "ugly" things in original 944, Strosek significantly upgraded the looks of simple 944 and 944 turbo models. And tuning was not only about beauty

You could put only 9 inch wide rims under stock front fenders on your 944. Strosek's widebody conversion lets you have 10" and it means wider tyres - up to 245. It means more grip, better handling. even wider rear part sets your imagination free, and big air intakes keeps your brakes cooler. Restyled rear part, hatch conversion from heavy stock glass dome to fiberglass one saves not only weight, but generates more downforce.
