The Porsche 924 Carrera GT, a rare and coveted variant of the 924 model, was produced in 1981 as a limited edition homologation special. Intended for Group 4 rally competition, the Carrera GT was built to meet specific racing regulations, resulting in a unique and performance-oriented specification. While the 924 was already known for its sporty handling and responsive engine, the Carrera GT took things to a whole new level. Under the hood resided a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine, significantly modified from the standard 924. It featured a larger displacement, revised pistons, connecting rods, and a higher compression ratio, resulting in a substantial power increase to 177 hp. Additionally, the Carrera GT received a larger turbocharger and a modified exhaust system, allowing it to breathe more freely. Beyond its potent engine, the Carrera GT boasted a range of performance-minded enhancements. It received a lightweight body with a modified front grille and a rear spoiler, as well as flared wheel arches to accommodate wider wheels and tires. The interior was stripped down, featuring racing-style bucket seats and a roll cage for added safety. Only 406 units of this unique model were produced, making it a highly sought-after collectible amongst Porsche enthusiasts. This limited production run, coupled with its exceptional performance and rarity, cemented the 924 Carrera GT's place in automotive history as a true homologation special.
