2 x Porsche 944 Turbo Cup Race Cars: Start Up, Accelerations & Sound!

This video is about two Porsche 944 Turbo Cup race cars I recorded during last year's Bernina Gran Turismo, an event born in 2014 with the aim of keep the memory of the legendary Bernina hillclimb race of 1929 and 1930 alive. It's held on the beautiful Bernina Pass in Switzerland, on a section of the original route specifically closed to traffic,

Porsche decided to create a race series for the top-of-the line 944 Turbo in the mid-1980s, with a total of five championship series around the World: one in France, one in Germany, one in South Africa, one in Canada, and one in the United States.

The Turbo Cup cars developed for the series had substantial upgrades over their road going counterparts, including a larger turbocharger, a magnesium intake manifold and oil pan, a reinforced transmission, clutch, differential and axles, upgraded struts, shocks, springs, suspension mounts, as well as an adjustable ABS system, bigger brakes with racing pads, magnesium wheels, a transmission oil cooler, and a lightweight battery. The interiors were also stripped of all the unnecessary stuffs. This yielded weight savings of approximately 272 kg.

The 944 Turbo Cup is powered by a 2.5-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine which was able to produce 250 hp. A total of 192 Turbo Cup cars were made.
