Does anybody have any information on this option? it seems to be very rare - in fact i cant find any articles about it anywhere, do we have an owner on the board?

I would interested to find out the specs for this option and any photos would be great.

Thanks

Graham

I believe that there were only about 15 cars and that they were available over either one or two model years (series two cars, maybe '87 & '88). This is from the furthest corners of my recollection though, and Im not even sure how I know.

Ive tried to find out myself, although I wasnt even aware of the build code until now...

From Here:

"Porsche 944 S Club Sport

Production
- Production: ?
- Production date: 1987-?

Notes
- 944 S equipped with the M637 Club Sport Package.
- Also called "Performance Handling Package".
- See also the 944 Turbo Club Sport

Features
- Matches the kit for vehicles entered in 944 Turbo Cup races.
- Could be registered for the road.
- Stiffer springs, shocks and anti-roll bars.
- Stripped car: No air condition, electric windows or electric seats.
- Underbody PVC protection removed and sound deadening reduced.
- "cs - clubsport" decal on left front fender?
- Other options was:
- Bucket type sports seats.
- Six-point safety harness.
- Roll cage."

Which confirms what I thought, but this may be incorrect of course.

Great - thanks.

I have to admit i'm considering replicating this with mine, fortunately mine is a non-sunroof and i have already adjustable CS koni's - just a lot more cash to part with! but i do use it as a daily so wont strip the underseal of rear seats.... or come to think of it a/c - guess i might as well drop the idea!

The decal looks good, just like the Turbo front wing one but reads 'CS clubsport' - i havent been able to upload the picture.

The normally aspirated cars were Ss, I believe (whichd match the production years that I remembered too).

My hazy memory thought these were only for the countries where they had the Turbo Cup series, ie France, Canada, US. Thom on the PCGB forum has talked about a friend in Frabce who has a CS

There was a Turbo CS too. Whether its Cup countries only though I dont know, because in 1988 it was more 'World', then simply France.

Would it be worth getting a copy of GT Porsche magazine, november 2007 issue (page 66) as there is a bit about the turbo cup series in there?

Matt.
