Porsche’s foray into the front engine sports car game all started with the introduction of the 924 . . . to less than enthusiastic response from the press and public alike. The good news is Porsche learned from this disaster and with the introduction of the 944, all was forgiven. Porsche re-worked the platform and abandoned the Audi engine, installing in its place a new all-alloy 2.5 litre straight-4 engine, bore 100mm, stroke 78.9mm, that was, in essence, half of the Porsche 928‘s 5.0 litre V8, although very few parts were actually interchangeable. Not a natural choice for a luxury sports car, a four cylinder engine was chosen for fuel efficiency and size. To overcome the unbalanced secondary forces that make other four cylinder engines feel harsh, Porsche included two counter rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. Invented in 1904 by British engineer Frederick Lanchester, and further developed and patented in 1975 by Mitsubishi Motors, balance shafts carry eccentric weights which produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, making a four cylinder engine feel as smooth as a six cylinder. The engine was factory-rated at 150bhp (112 kW; 152 PS) in its U.S. configuration. Eventually, the 944 became the bestselling car in the Porsche line-up!
