Škoda 1000 MB Žiabrovka
The Porsche 924 is a sports car produced by Audi in Neckarsulm, Germany, on behalf of Porsche from 1976 until 1988. A two-door, 2+2 coupé, the 924 replaced the 912E and 914 as the company’s entry-level model.
Although the 928 was designed first, the 924 was the first production road-going Porsche to use water cooling and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. It was also the first Porsche to be offered with a conventional fully automatic transmission.
The 924 made its public debut in November 1975 and a turbocharged version was introduced in 1978. In response to increasing competition, Porsche introduced an upgraded and re-engined version as the 944, which replaced the 924 in the U.S. in 1983.
In 1985, Audi discontinued the engine used in the 924, prompting Porsche to use a slightly detuned 944 engine in the 924, rename the vehicle as the 924S, and reintroduce it in the U.S. The 924 was a sales success, with just over 150,000 produced.
