1988 Porsche 924

Porsche 924. The basic 924 was initially launched in 1976 although special editions like the Martini (1977) and other variants such as the 924 turbo (1978), 924S (1986/7) and Le Mans (1988) were also built. It was the first Porsche to use a water cooled front mounted engine. Interestingly, the 924 was originally commissioned by Volkswagen (co-developed by Porsche). However, Volkswagen cancelled the project so Porsche bought the design and sold it under their own badge thus also making it the first "affordable" Porsche. Production of the 924 ceased in 1988.
