1979 Porsche 924 Turbo Rally Car "works" - Multiple entrant at the Monte Carlo Historique
Multiple entrant at the Monte Carlo Historique and many other events across Europe. Current FIVA and HTP papers
Porsche originally introduced the 924 to its model line-up in dealer showrooms in 1976, Being the first ever front-engine rear-wheel-drive car offered by the manufacturer. With a transaxle gearbox at the rear, 48/52 weight distribution was achieved, giving unprecedented balance and handling, easily outperforming its rivals in the market. The early 924’s were initially criticized for their lack of power, so Porsche re-energized the model in 1978 by installing a KKK Turbocharger giving 170BHP, giving the car that much needed and significant power boost. This was the birth of the 924 Turbo.
The rally car on offer here gives a unique opportunity to own a perfect recreation of the original 'works' Porsche 924 Turbos rally cars - the original now residing in the Porsche Museum. It was built as a truly no-expense-spared exercise and has subsequently been entered into multiple Monte Carlo Historique rallies with ex-works Porsche legend Jürgen Barth.
A fantastic and very rare car for today's strong historic rally world.
