A little history of the Porsche 924S. The Porsche 924 was an automobile produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1976 to 1988. A two-door, [[2+2 (car body style)|2+2]] coupé, the 924 replaced the 914 as the company's entry-level model, and was the model that finally retired the 912. It was the first Porsche model powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine to make production. Volkswagen commissioned Porsche to design the car, who developed a fresh chassis and transmission that would work with an existing Audi I4 engine.Volkswagen put the project on hold, eventually dumping it entirely after their decision to move forward with the Volkswagen Scirocco model instead. Porsche, who needed a model to replace the 914, made a deal with Volkswagen leadership, agreeing to buy the design for 100 million DM — $10 million less than what Volkswagen paid Porsche to design it.
European models, which didn't require any emissions equipment, made 125 hp. They also differed visually from the US spec model by not having the US cars low-speed impact bumpers and the round reflectors on each end of the body. The car was criticised in Car and Driver magazine for this braking arrangement, which was viewed as a step backward from the 914's standard four-wheel disc brakes. However, four wheel disc brakes, five lug hubs and alloys from the 924 Turbo were available on the base 924 as an "S" package starting with the 1980 model year.
