The Porsche 924, a front-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car produced from 1976 to 1985, marked a significant shift in Porsche's model lineup. Designed as a more affordable entry point into the brand, it utilized a water-cooled, 2.0-liter inline-four engine sourced from Volkswagen, a departure from the iconic air-cooled flat-six engines that defined Porsche's identity. The 924 was the first Porsche model to feature a transaxle transmission, placing the gearbox and differential at the rear axle, contributing to a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution. The car's design, penned by renowned Italian designer, Giorgio Giugiaro, showcased a sleek, wedge-shaped body with pronounced flares, distinct pop-up headlights and a distinctive rear spoiler. While the 924 initially received mixed reactions due to its Volkswagen engine, its handling prowess, affordability, and distinctive styling gained it a loyal following, solidifying its place in Porsche's history. The 1985 Porsche 924, the final year of production, saw several enhancements and updates. The engine received a turbocharger, boosting power output to 143 hp. The suspension was revised for improved handling characteristics, featuring a stiffer setup and larger sway bars. Other notable changes included a revised interior with improved ergonomics and a new rear bumper design. Despite its production discontinuation, the 924 remained a popular and reliable car, cherished by enthusiasts for its blend of performance, practicality, and distinctive styling. The 1985 model, being the last year of production, represents a culmination of the model's development, incorporating the best features and upgrades from its predecessor models. The 1985 Porsche 924 Repair Service Manual, a valuable resource for owners and mechanics alike, provides detailed information on the car's mechanical and electrical systems, facilitating maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting.
