Porsche 924
Replacing the 914 as Porsche's entry-level model, the 924 introduced a front-mounted, water-cooled engine, marking a notable departure from traditional Porsche design. Despite initial controversy, the original 924 offered balanced performance and confident handling. The 924 Turbo, launched in late 1978, delivered the higher performance expected of a Porsche.
The 924 achieved notable results in international motorsport, appearing in events such as the Monte Carlo and Safari Rallies. The Carrera GT, GTS, and GTR variants maintained Porsche's tradition of proving its cars in competition.
The 924 Turbo was eventually replaced by the 944, but the naturally aspirated 924 continued until 1988, when it was updated with the 2.5-litre engine from the 944 and renamed the 924S.
Once undervalued, the 924 is now recognized for its performance, build quality, practicality, and affordability. This book documents the complete history of the Porsche 924, including its racing achievements, from its launch to the end of production.
