What is 1977 porsche 924?

The 1977 Porsche 924 was the first water-cooled, front-engine Porsche to enter production. It was originally designed as a joint project with Volkswagen, intended to be a replacement for the VW Karmann Ghia. However, VW pulled out of the project, and Porsche purchased the rights, bringing the 924 to market as their own entry-level sports car.

• Engine: A 2.0L inline-four engine, sourced from Audi, producing approximately 95-110 horsepower, depending on the market and emissions regulations. See more about Engine.
