German manual and maintenance booklet until 2014 (!!) and taxation report. The Porsche 924 was produced from 1976 until 1988. It was intended to replace the Porsche 914 as the company's entry-level model. It was the first road-going Porsche to have a front engine rear wheel drive configuration. The 924 made its public debut in November 1975. It was criticised by enthusiasts for its mediocre performance, but was a sales success with just over 150,000 produced during a 1977-1988 production run, and an important profits generator for the company. The closely related 944 introduced in the U.S. market in 1983 was meant to replace the 924, but 924 production continued through 1985, followed by a 944-engined 924S through 1988. Porsche executives soon recognized the need for a higher-performance version of the 924 that could bridge the gap between the basic 924s and the 911s. Having already found the benefits of turbochargers on several race cars and the 1975 911 Turbo, Porsche chose to use this technology for the 924, eventually introducing the 924 Turbo as a 1978 model.

About Porsche 924
The Porsche 924 was a sports car produced by Porsche from 1976 to 1988. The car was developed in partnership with Volkswagen, and shared many components with VW models such as the Audi 100 and the Volkswagen Golf. As a result, some people have criticized the Porsche 924 as being a "VW wannabe" or not a real Porsche.However, while the Porsche 924 did share some components with VW models, it was also designed and engineered by Porsche, and featured many of the same design cues and styling elements as other Porsche models of the era. The car was powered by a Porsche-designed four-cylinder engine, which was mounted transversely in the front of the car, and was available with a range of transmissions, including a five-speed manual and a three-speed automatic.
The Porsche 924 was also successful on the race track, winning the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans in the GTP class, and the 1981 and 1982 SCCA National Championships.
Overall, while the Porsche 924 may not have the same level of prestige or cachet as some of Porsche's other models, it is still considered by many to be a genuine Porsche. It was designed and built by Porsche, featured unique styling and engineering, and was successful both on the road and on the track.
