Porsche’s First Front‑Engine, Rear‑Wheel‑Drive Model
Introduced in 1976, the 924 replaced the 912E and 914 as Porsche’s entry‑level car and was the company’s first front‑engine, rear‑wheel‑drive vehicle. Its accessible starting price helped broaden Porsche’s market reach.
Turbo Power Arrives in 1979
The model range was supplemented in 1979 by the 924 Turbo, which used an exhaust turbocharger to boost output to 170 PS at 5,500 rpm. This turbocharged variant added a performance edge to the otherwise modest lineup.
The 924S Revives the Platform (1986‑1988)
Produced from 1986 to 1988, the 924S gave the aging 924 platform a true Porsche engine, reviving interest in the model toward the end of its production run. It represented Porsche’s effort to inject genuine brand performance into the entry‑level series.
