When Porsche unveiled the 924 in 1976, it marked a significant departure for the brand, being their first front-engined, water-cooled production car. Initially conceived as a joint venture with Volkswagen, the 924 was designed to be an accessible entry point into the Porsche family, replacing the aging 914. While early models shared components with VW and Audi, the 924 S, introduced in 1986, brought the model firmly back into the Porsche fold. This iteration received the potent 2.5-liter, 150 hp M44/01 engine from the 944, along with its upgraded suspension and braking systems. The 924 S offered a lighter, more nimble package than the 944, making it a favorite among purists who appreciated its balanced handling and direct feel, often considered the spiritual successor to the original 924 concept but with true Porsche performance. This 1988 Porsche 924 S presents a compelling opportunity, showing a remarkably low 59,416 miles on the odometer. As a late-production 924 S, it benefits from all the refinements made during its run, including the robust 2.5-liter engine and a precise manual transmission that delivers an engaging driving experience. While specific details on its original color and interior are not provided, the low mileage suggests a car that has been well-preserved and lightly used throughout its life, a rare find for a transaxle Porsche of this vintage. For the enthusiast seeking a pure driving experience and a piece of Porsche's evolving history, this 924 S awaits its next discerning owner.
