924 

The Porsche 924 was originally designed for Volkswagon. They contracted Porsche in the late 60's to develop the 924, but were forced to cancel due to financial reasons. Porsche ended up buying the rights and the 924 was produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1976 to 1988. 944S2 variants were produced until 1991 and the 968 varant was produced from 92-95.

The 924 was a two door, 2+2 seat sports car coupe. The 924 replaced the 914 as the company's entry level model, and was the model that finally retired the 912. It was the first Porsche model to be put into production powered by a water-cooled, front mounted engine, although the similarly configured 928 was designed before the 924. The front engine, rear drive arrangement was normal for most other manufacturers, but it was unusual for Porsche, who had previously only used mid or rear mounted engines of a boxer configuration, all of which had been air cooled. The 924 was a success, and not only helped to take Porsche out of financial ruin, it created the revenue stream needed to continue building and developing the 911. The 924 was replaced by the 944, but the two were produced together for some time.

Audi and Volkswagen parts can be found all over the car, showing that they were somewhat "cobbled" together with off-the-shelf technology. Probably an indicator of Porsche's instability at the time.

924 

(n.) A Volkswagen with porsche badges. 124mph top speed, late 70's to early 90's (Or was it late 80's?) production. Spawned the 928 and the 944, which are superior.

The wife of the guy next door owned a 924 many years ago.

924S 

A Porsche made in the mid-to-late 80's that was essentially a 944 in a 924's clothing. Powered by a 944's 2.5 liter engine. Actually quicker than a standard 944 due to it's lighter weight and less aerodynamic drag. Much quicker than the original 924, which was conceived in the 70's, yet easily confused with one as they use the same body.

Steve owns a 924S, not a 924...

Porsche 924s 

Classic Porsche that evolved into the 944. The 924s came with the same exact engine as a 944, and the same transmission. only difference is the 944 is more heavier because of a wider body. 924s would win in a race tho. very quick off the line. Only thing that sucks about it, is that you have to take like 2 things apart on the engine just to get to 1 thing.

That black 924s just blew that 84 red trans am off the line and in the long run.

Man that Porsche 924s will eat ur automatic 5.0 Mustang alive
