In 1979, Porsche unveiled a concept version of the 924 at the Frankfurt Auto show wearing Carrera badges. One year later, in 1980, Porsche released the 924 Carrera GT, making clear their intention to enter the 924 in competition. By adding an intercooler, increasing compression to 8.5:1, lowering the suspension as well as various other little changes, Porsche was able to develop the 924 Turbo into the race car they had wanted, dubbing it the “924 Carrera GT”. 406 examples (including prototypes) of the Carrera GT were built to qualify it for Group 4 racing requirements. Of the 400 road going examples, 75 were made in right hand drive for the UK market.
In 1981 Porsche released the very limited production 924 Carrera GTS. 59 GTS models were built, all in left hand drive, with 15 of the 59 being race prepared Clubsport versions.
GTS models were also 59 kg (130 lb) lighter than their GT counterparts at 1,121 kg (2,471 lb).
In order to comply with the homologation regulations, the 924 Carrera GT and later 924 Carrera GTS were offered as road cars, producing 210 and 245 hp (157 and 183 kW) respectively.
Our car on offer is a one owner example with extensive and fully documented race history. It was factory tuned to an output of about 270hp and equipped with dry sump and roll cage prior to delivery.
