The 924 was Porsche's first front-engine model, marking a clear separation from the traditional rear-engine recipe that had defined the marque and materialized in the second half of the 20th century.

Despite this shift in layout, Porsche's ethos of "Racing improves the breed" remained true, and within months, the head of Porsche's Customer Sport Department, Jürgen Barth, was racing one in the Monte-Carlo and Safari Rallies.

Endurance racing at Le Mans was soon to follow.



This 924 Rally Tribute pays homage to the iconic Rothmans-liveried Porsches from the 1980s.

Likely an original French-market example, the car carries a plaque indicating it was sold through Sonauto, the first French importer of Porsches and organizer of the Paris-Dakar rally.
