Porsche 924 S

The vehicle in detail

The Porsche 924 was produced as a sports car by Porsche AG from 1975 to 1988. Originally designed as a successor to the VW-Porsche 914, Porsche launched the car with the support of the Volkswagen Group as an inexpensive entry-level model. The 924 was the first car from Porsche with a water-cooled front engine and the transaxle drive concept and represented a departure from the technical concept of the previously built models with air-cooled rear engines. In addition to the production vehicles, the vehicle variants Carrera GTP and Carrera GTR were developed specifically for motorsport in 1980 and 1981. They were used in races in the sports car world championship, such as the 24-hour race at Le Mans, where they achieved podium places and victories in the class rankings. For model year 1986, the Porsche 924 S replaced the 924, of which more than 130,000 were built. The engine, chassis and brake system were taken over from the 944 with minor changes. The engine now made 150 hp with a displacement of 2479ccm. With a vehicle weight of only 1190 kg, the car needed 8.5 s from zero to 100 km/h and reached a top speed of 215 km/h. The body remained almost unchanged.
