1977-1982 Porsche 924 Pictures and Specifications

The Porsche 924 was the first water-cooled front-engine production Porsche. This relatively low-cost coupe was a startling departure from the expensive, air-cooled, rear-engine Porsche 911, and its Audi engine caused fans of the marque to question its Porsche credentials.

The Porsche 924 was a rear-wheel drive, which was unusual in a Porsche.
