The Porsche 924 is a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car produced by Porsche from 1976 to 1988. It was the first Porsche model to utilize a water-cooled four-cylinder engine, marking a departure from the traditional six-cylinder boxer engines that defined the brand. Designed as a more affordable entry point into the Porsche world, the 924 initially faced criticism for its perceived lack of Porsche's characteristic driving dynamics due to its borrowed Audi engine and transaxle. However, the car gradually gained recognition for its balance, handling, and fuel efficiency, becoming a popular choice for enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.

The 924's unique design stemmed from a collaboration with Volkswagen, born out of a desire to create a sporty yet accessible model. The car shared its chassis with the Audi 100 and featured a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine sourced from Audi, a departure from Porsche's traditional air-cooled flat-six engines. Although initially viewed as a compromise, the 924's engine, paired with its lightweight design, offered surprisingly spirited performance. The car's handling was praised for its balance and predictability, making it a competent and enjoyable driving experience. Despite facing initial skepticism, the Porsche 924 successfully established itself as a distinct and desirable sports car, offering a compelling blend of practicality, performance, and Porsche heritage.
