1981 - PORSCHE 924 TURBO CARRERA GTS
Full Group 4 preparation
International HTP A serious alternative to the 911
After the 914, Porsche wanted to continue its partnership with the VAG group and repeat that model's commercial success. At the top of the company, the days of the 911 were seen as numbered, and Porsche therefore reverted to a more conventional layout, with the engine mounted at the front, but the gearbox at the rear to improve the weight distribution. Following complex negotiations with the VAG group, Porsche decided to market the 924 on its own. It would prove a success: with more than 120,000 cars built, the 924 remains one of the best-selling models in Porsche's history. On the strength of its experience in motorsport, the company went on to develop a Turbo version. The new 2-litre engine, assembled in Stuttgart, was fitted with a KKK turbocharger, producing a total of 170bhp. In 1980, Porsche presented the 924 Carrera GT: as well as having a more muscular appearance, its 2-litre engine now developed 210bhp. The following year, two even more radical versions intended for competition were introduced. The GTS, of which 59 cars were built, was more powerful than the Carrera GT and could be recognised by its fixed headlamps and the intercooler installed opposite the engine. The ultimate version of the 924 would be the 375bhp GTR, which remains the most exclusive variant, with just 17 cars built.
The car which we are presenting is a 1981 Porsche 924 Turbo with full GTS-type competition preparation. It meets the homologation requirements for Group 4 set out in the FIA homologation form 672. It comes with its international Historic Technical
Passport (HTP) dated September 2018. After being completely stripped down, the car was repainted in Gitane blue as a tribute to the 924 GTS driven by Jacky Ickx, in which he finished fourth at the Boucles de Spa in 1982. All the mechanical components are completely new| the engine is fitted with forged pistons, large-diameter valves, a GTS i
