1989 Porsche 944 S2 | Leicester, Leicestershire

The Porsche 944 S2 is the 3.0-litre, 16-valve version of the 944, with 211 PS from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder. It is liked for its front engine and rear-mounted gearbox, which give balanced handling, and for a rounded nose and rear valance that echo the 944 Turbo. This car is red with a cream interior, a pairing that reads clearly against both period and modern backdrops. The pale cabin shows up well in close shots, and the smooth late-1980s lines give photographers a clean side profile to work with. That look suits period film and TV scenes, advertising and music video work, and fashion and editorial shoots where colour carries the frame. It also makes a distinctive wedding arrival or personal hire. The car is based in Leicester, Leicestershire.
