Porsche 924

Friday 31 July 2009
The Porsche 924 is an automobile produced from 1976 to 1988. A two-door, 2+2 coupé, the 924 replaced the 914/6 as the company's entry-level model, and was the model that finally retired the 912. It was the first Porsche model powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine to make production, although the similarly-configured 928 was designed before the 924. The front-engine, rear wheel drive arrangement was normal for most other manufacturers, but it was unusual for Porsche, who had previously only used mid or rear-mounted engines of a boxer configuration, all of which had been air-cooled.
The model made by Schuco comes from Junior collection and represents a nice quality for a good price.
