Porsche 924

The Porsche 924, Porsche 944, and Porsche 968 represented a swerve into front-engine design for Porsche. The articles linked below lay out why that detour was often a critical success and sometimes a sales success, but ultimately a design dead-end.

The 924 and 944 were both stylish 2+2 hatchbacks, but the 924 was tarnished by its use of an Audi engine. The 944 had true Porsche power. The 968 was the final evolution of the original 924 design, and was in many ways the best of the bunch -- if you could swallow its unusual front-end styling.
