I first came into contact with this 924 at NorCal Treffen, a nifty little event in an out-of-the-way park. I was drawn to the car's nearly perfect appearance. It had a few rock chips here and there, and a repaint intended to hide some prior deer-induced damage had faded beyond acceptable, but the amazingly period-correct Gotti wheels and a gorgeous …

Lot 156A in the COYS "Legende Et Passion" auction coming up next weekend features an amazingly clean and well preserved 924 GTR race cars that has never been raced. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the absolute pinnacle of 924 development, and as rare as these are, it's 1 of 17 built, you'd be a fool to not be excited about the prospect of …

In 1976, Porsche introduced their first transaxle powertrain with the type 924 and embarked into new = and some might say murky - waters.

One of the most amazing parts of the Rennsport Reunion V festivities was the Chopard Heritage Display.

Until now, if you wanted the convenience of a head-unit that offered navigation, Bluetooth and iPod/iPhone connectivity in your classic Porsche your choices were quite limited. Sure, you could cobble together a system using your phone, mounts, stand-alone GPS devices and alternative head-units, but in doing so you lose that all important factory …

In a case of Manifest Destiny, the voracity of which was generally reserved for American colonial settlers, a Montreal-based Canadian racing internet forum has apparently claimed a stricken Porsche 924 as their own after a member found it languishing in the wilderness.
