1987 Porsche 924S – 2.5L Inline-Four – 5-Speed Manual – Transaxle Porsche
Motors Corner presents this 1987 Porsche 924S, a beautifully preserved example of one of Porsche's most underrated sports cars. Combining the lightweight body of the original 924 with the proven mechanicals of the 944, the 924S delivers an engaging driving experience and has become increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts seeking an authentic analog Porsche.
Introduced for the 1987 model year, the 924S was Porsche's answer to customers who loved the balanced chassis of the 924 but desired the performance of the 944. Fitted with the 2.5-liter inline-four from the 944 and benefiting from Porsche's renowned front-engine, rear transaxle layout, the 924S offers nearly perfect weight distribution and handling characteristics that continue to impress nearly four decades later.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four producing 150 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The result is a responsive, confidence-inspiring sports car that rewards spirited driving while remaining comfortable enough for long-distance touring.
Produced for only two model years in North America, the 924S occupies a unique place in Porsche history. Once overlooked in favor of its rear-engine counterparts, these transaxle Porsches are now gaining the recognition they deserve, making well-kept examples increasingly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
