Simple but revolutionary: how the Porsche 924 made automotive history.
The Porsche engineers’ goal was clear: The new Porsche was to be a 2+2-seater sports car with optimum performance, comfort, and safe driving characteristics. The solution was a revolution in Porsche design: engine at the front, transmission at the rear. With the innovative transaxle design, the engineers achieved a balanced axle load and set a counterpoint to the established Porsche 911 with rear-mounted engine.
