Description
Porsche originally introduced the 924 to its model line-up in dealer showrooms in 1976, Being the first ever front-engine rear-wheel-drive car offered by the manufacturer. With a transaxle gearbox at the rear, 48/52 weight distribution was achieved, giving unprecedented balance and handling, easily outperforming its rivals in the market. The early 924’s were initially criticized for their lack of power, so Porsche re-energized the model in 1978 by installing a KKK Turbocharger giving 170BHP, giving the car that much needed and significant power boost. This was the birth of the 924 Turbo.
The rally car on offer here gives a unique opportunity to own a perfect recreation of the original 'works' Porsche 924 Turbos rally cars - the original now residing in the Porsche Museum. It was built as a truly no-expense-spared exercise and has subsequently been entered into multiple Monte Carlo Historique rallies with ex-works Porsche legend Jürgen Barth.
A fantastic and very rare car for today's strong historic rally world.
