Svi su govorili da je najgori Porsche, a baš taj model je spasao marku od propasti
Danas ga mnogi bez razmišljanja svrstavaju među najlošije Porsche modele ikada, ali istorija govori nešto sasvim drugo. Porsche 924 nije bio greška, već potez iz nužde koji je u presudnom trenutku održao kompaniju u životu. Bez tog automobila, Porsche kakav danas poznajemo možda uopšte ne bi postojao.
TL;DR
- The Porsche 924 was developed out of necessity when Volkswagen withdrew from a joint project.
- Its transaxle configuration (front engine, rear transmission) provided excellent weight distribution and handling.
- Despite initial criticism for its four-cylinder engine and being nicknamed 'Hausfrauen Porsche,' it sold well, saving the company.
- Technical advancements included a galvanized body with a six-year corrosion warranty and practical features like a large tailgate.
- Performance versions like the 924 Turbo and 924 S, along with collector favorites Carrera GT and GTS, improved its image.
- The 924's true significance lies in its financial contribution and its role in establishing Porsche's transaxle lineup.
