Model history:

At the end of 1978, Porsche introduced the 924 Turbo: externally, it was recognizable by the four small air intakes above the front bumper, which served to cool the turbocharger. Other changes in detail included a rear spoiler, an additional air intake on the hood and the 15-inch wheels, which were a consequence of the reinforced brakes and their need for ventilation. Another striking feature of the 924 Turbo was the two-tone paintwork with the contrasting flanks, which was available as an option. The turbocharger from KKK helped the 924 to an impressive 170 hp, which even grew to 177 hp a good year after its market launch. After almost 12,500 units produced, production of the 924 Turbo ended in the summer of 1982.
