Hi

As my 944 S2 is an August 1992 car (but according to the VIN built in 1991), does anyone have a chassis range for the last of the line? According to my VIN, the chassis is 00684.

Just for my own interest I'd love to know what was actually the last RHD chassis number to see how near my chassis is to that.

Many thanks
Chris
 
It was no secret the 968 was coming, and Porsche probably struggled to shift the last S2's. I'd have thought the ones that were chipped and had the up rated suspension fitted were the last RHD ones. Earlier cars probably sat in a compound somewhere until they were heavily discounted.
 
It's quite a low VIN number, but they probably made a lot less in MY91 than previous years. I've seen S2's on a K plate before, late registered like yours. As Blade says, the S2 SE was the chipped last of the line S2. Yours has most likely laid about unsold for a while. I don't have the chassis range, it will definitely help you in your quest.

Edit to add, there you go. 3,118 MY91 S2, so you're not even close to end of the line!!

I've never been a fan of the S2, but with that mileage it would be a great base for a 3.0 16v turbo conversion.
 
It was lowered slightly by previous owner in readiness for 17" wheels. Otherwise absolutely standard and immaculate!
 
looks good!
They certainly had slowed down production by then and even if it wasn't the last, there are not that many left - especially with that low mileage,

Why would it be lowered for bigger wheels?

Could be on an air ride suspension (air bags) hence it's sits on the floor when static and is raised when it goes to the shops!
Or it's just one of the millions of "Big wheels and lowered" car's to an extremity and hence.. "All Show and no Go"

I did think about air suspension.........but on what looks like a track car.......hmmmm!

I think 14 is correct for S2 SE models. No idea if it coincided with last 14 VIN's though or was most likely the last 14 unshifted vehicles after production stopped.

Not a lot of difference Same chassis / car / interior / brakes / block etc.. different front & rear plastic styling / bonnet
the VVT cylinder head and twin tube exhaust system.

It was destined to be the 944 S3, but marketers decided to opt for a new number and attempt to rekindle a model / chassis designed in
the 1970's with a fresh look. They didn't sell well because they wanted like 35K!, hence they reduced the price by 5K and did a cheaper version with lighter seats, wiring harness and a CS sticker!

They are in Essence the Mk3 924, as is the 944 a Mk 2 924 !

Almost right but no cigar, the basic CS was 27,995 plus what ever weight you wanted to put back in off the options list
