A joint project between Porsche and Volkswagen, the Porsche 924 was intended to replace the 914 as a more practical car that would serve a wider audience.

With a front-engine, rear-transaxle layout, the 924 offered excellent weight distribution, tempting Porsche to undertake further development projects and, naturally for Porsche, this led to competition.

Porsche would tread lightly at first with Jürgen Barth rallying across the globe.

Once proven in the toughest competition, Porsche homologated the 924 as the Carrera GT building the required 400 examples in 1981 to place the 924 in FIA Group 4 GTP, IMSA GTO, and SCCA C Production.

First shown at the 1979 Frankfurt Auto Show, Porsche engineers were able to remove over 136 kilograms from the 924 Turbo while exterior enhancements included a hood scoop, wider fenders, forged aluminum Fuchs wheels, and a larger rear lip spoiler.
