Porsche 924 Carrera GTS

Technically, this 924 was uncompromisingly geared toward competition. The available Group B documentation describes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with turbocharging and intercooling, producing approximately 290 PS at 6,250 rpm and delivering about 1.2 bar of boost pressure. A modified wastegate, adjusted camshaft timing, a revised exhaust system, and an enlarged oil cooler are all part of the documented setup, as are the clutch and pressure plate from the 924 GTR. The reinforced five-speed transmission features splash lubrication and oil cooling, complemented by a limited-slip differential with 80 percent locking effect. This makes it clear that this was not just a sporty street car, but a 924 that was prepared for serious competition.

The historical documentation is particularly compelling. The original Italian vehicle registration certificate bears homologation number 203 and lists, under the designation “924 GTS Carrera Gruppo B,” the exact chassis number WP0ZZZ93ZBS710025 as well as the license plate from that time, MO 531882. This documentation is supplemented by the first German vehicle registration certificate with the initial registration dated August 4, 1981, in the name of Hahn Sportwagen GmbH in Stuttgart, the 2008 FIA Historic Technical Passport, and the contemporary FIA homologation documentation for the Carrera GT.

The car’s subsequent ownership history can also be traced. Roberto Nardini took over the car himself after its early racing days and remained connected to it for many years. In his statement dated March 7, 2002, he finally confirmed the sale of the vehicle on October 26, 2001, to Dr. Renato Bicciato. This brings to a close an extraordinary historical chain that stretches from its early racing days through Nardini’s successful years to the original documents preserved today.

This 924 Carrera GTS thus represents an era in which Porsche still developed its sportiest vehicles with an uncompromising focus on competition. A documented racing record featuring a pole position, a victory, and the fastest lap, a successful driver like Roberto Nardini, original Porsche congratulatory letters, and Group B technical documentation make WP0ZZZ93ZBS710025 a particularly authentic representative of this era. For the connoisseur, it is precisely this combination of genuine racing history and preserved documentation that elevates this 924 far beyond an ordinary, rare classic.

Conclusion: A 924 Carrera GTS with an extraordinary history. As one of only 59 original production vehicles, with just two owners since Mr. Nardini, only 11,400 km on the odometer, and a fully documented racing history, this vehicle is something truly special. As the 1981 Group B winning car, it also represents a defining era in Porsche’s motorsport history, meaning the car is ready for immediate competition. The possibilities are endless: Group B Legends, Youngtimer Trophy, Le Mans Classic, Tour de Corse, Cup and touring car series, Tour Auto, and much more.

This Porsche 924 Carrera GTS, with chassis number WP0ZZZ93ZBS710025, was delivered on August 13, 1981, via the Porsche dealer Hahn Stuttgart to its first owner, Dr. R. Nardini, in Rome.

Car number 25 was exported to Italy immediately after its initial registration in Germany and was used there directly as a motorsport vehicle. Dr. R. Nardini’s greatest success came in 1983 when he won the Italian Circuit Championship in Group B.

During that season, which is well documented, the car completed every race without a single mechanical failure. Congratulatory letters from Porsche Germany, signed by Jürgen Barth, attest to these successes.

In 2001, the first owner, due to his age, handed the car over to his friend, also a doctor from Bolzano. In the years that followed, the friend also participated in various classic car rallies in Italy with it.

A full German technical inspection has already been performed, and an H-certificate has been issued, so the car has already received street registration.

In 2012, the vehicle was brought to Germany as part of a collection. The owner, who never registered the car, was looking for a 924 Carrera GT at the time. However, he found this GTS, which has been part of his unique racing car collection ever since.

The history of the three previous owners in Italy and Germany is fully documented. The odometer reading is 11,400 km. The original documents and certificates dating back to delivery—including the birth certificate, registration papers, racing certificates, the logbook, and all accessories—are fully preserved.
