The Porsche 924 was an attempt by Porsche to make a slightly different form of sports car to the 911's they had been producing for so many years. In the early 80's it was the time for the "yuppies" and the car of choice was a 924 or a 944. The 924 started off with a 2.0 audi engine very similar the the one in the VW Golf GTI at the time. The design was also very different from what Porsche had been producing up until this time. The main change was the layout of the vehicle. The engine was in the front and a "boot" was in the rear. The term boot should be used very loosely as many struggled to squeeze golf clubs in. The 924 soon had a slightly more powerful big brother the 924S this was given a 2.5 litre engine and power steering and was seen as a big improvement form the early somewhat flat 2.0 924 engine. The same engine that went into the 924S was then placed into what became the replacement for the 924 the 944. The 944 was a little bigger that the 924 but to look at was very similar. It was a soon to get a 16 valve engine that was not Porsche's best workmanship by any standards and then a 3.0 that was introduced as the 944 S2 this was a great car. They also produced a number of 944 turbo models which were a cheaper alternative to the 911 but they were not far behind on performance.
