German workshop CarPoint has unveiled the GT-K44, a custom shooting brake conversion based on the Porsche 944. The project, led by founder Andreas Freund and designer Michael Söhngen, is inspired by the Artz 924 Turbo Kombi from the 1980s. The conversion process involves extensive metalwork, including extending the roofline, rebuilding rear quarter panels, and installing a new tailgate.
Each build requires several hundred hours of labor, covering cutting, welding, and a full exterior respray. The vehicle retains its original 2+2 seating configuration. CarPoint does not modify the transmission, allowing customers to use donor cars equipped with either manual or automatic gearboxes. The shop recommends using the 944 S2 or the 944 Turbo models as the base for the conversion.
The base price for the conversion is €100 000 before taxes, rising to €119 000 including the 19 percent German VAT. This cost does not cover the donor vehicle, which must be provided by the client or sourced with the shop's assistance. Additional customization for wheels, suspension, and interior trim is available at an extra cost, making each unit a bespoke commission.
CarPoint has limited the production run to exactly 10 units. This cap is a deliberate choice to maintain exclusivity for collectors interested in rare Porsche variants. The GT-K44 maintains the classic transaxle layout and front-engine balance of the original 944, distinguishing it from other limited-run restomod projects based on the 911 platform.
