What is this gorgeous custom Porsche, and why does it matter?
Porsche never built a factory shooting-brake version of the 944. Carpoint, a German custom shop, decided to fill that gap with a production-minded conversion rather than a one-off design study, Robb Report reports.
The build, named the GT-K44, is aimed at buyers who want a rare longroof sports car look with usable cargo room. For collectors who also browse luxury real estate and dream homes, limited-run commissions like this sit in the same fantasy-garage tier as trophy properties.
Where did the idea for the GT-K44 come from?
Carpoint's car was not inspired by an official Porsche wagon such as the Panamera or Taycan. Instead, it traces back to a 924 Turbo S shooting brake crafted by Hanover coachbuilder Günter Artz.
According to Robb Report, citing HiConsumption, Carpoint founder Andreas Freund drove one of Artz's rare wagons around Lake Garda in the 1980s and spent four years trying to find one for himself. In 2022, designer Michael Söhngen gave Freund a sketch of a 944 shooting brake—the 944 became Porsche's entry-level model after the 924 Turbo S was discontinued in 1988—prompting Freund to build the car.
How much does this gorgeous custom Porsche conversion cost?
Carpoint is taking orders now. Pricing for the GT-K44 conversion starts at 100,000 euros, or roughly $113,670, and does not include the donor 944. A strong example of the base car runs around $60,000 in excellent condition, according to Hagerty as cited by Robb Report.
The shop plans to build just 10 examples. The first is finished in Oak Green. From the B-pillar back, the roof extends to the rear with a usable tailgate; Robb Report notes that hundreds of hours went into structural integrity and ease of use. The interior feels roomier and has real cargo space, though the rear seats remain cramped. Black leather, Pascha-patterned inserts, and black five-spoke wheels reinforce the 1980s character. Power comes from the 944's original 3.0-liter inline-four; in the 1991 donor used for the first build, that engine makes 211 hp.
Who should order one of the 10 GT-K44 builds?
Shoppers hunting a throwback Porsche shooting brake that never left the factory may find the GT-K44 especially compelling. With only 10 planned and conversion cost already in six figures before the donor car, demand is aimed at serious enthusiasts rather than casual buyers.
Orders are open through Carpoint now for anyone ready to commission this gorgeous custom Porsche wagon revival.
