Was there ever a 944E built?
 

I was driving down the freeway on friday and looked in the rear view mirror and a car in the left lane that looked like a 924, as he started to pass me I could see thats what it was, a cream colored 924 that had the vented nose panel and the turbo hood. As he got ahead of me I looked at the emblem on the back and it said "944E". I know I read the 944 right but could have been mistaken about the "E". Nontheless I know it wasnt a 944 because of the obvious differences in the bodies of the 924 and 944, but was there ever a 944E built?

I guess at the local autozone all the "Type R" and "Type S" placards were taken...

The 944E was the rare 5-cylinder version, sold only in Elbownia.

Impossible to place a value on it, as there is no conversion between US and Elbownian currency.

I hear George Clooney owns one...

Was it a 944S? I can see how somebody would get those two letters confused while driving...

Could have been, but it was a 924 body. Didnt have the wide body the 944's do.

What about 924S ?

Speedy:)

The puddin head that got the car probably got it without the rear emblem that said 924. They then seen a 944 emblem and assumed that it was waht they were missing. Or maybe there was some prototype 944 that we never heard about. One never knows what they may find.

"E"lectric?

Doh!
