## How to read this page

- Prices are US list prices in the dollars of that model year.
- "Not sourced" means the option was offered but no source for its price has been found. It does not mean free.
- A code of `none` means the factory code is not documented. Name the option instead of supplying a code.
- The same code can mean different things in different generations.
- "(assumed)" marks availability that is inferred: the option is documented in other model years of the same phase of the generation, or on the trim this one derives from, and is assumed here.

## Background

The 924 began as a sports coupé project for Volkswagen, which cancelled it after the 1973 oil crisis. Porsche bought the design back and had the car built at the former NSU plant in Neckarsulm. It was Porsche’s first front-engined production car, with a water-cooled inline-four at the front and the gearbox at the rear axle as a transaxle, joined to the engine by a rigid tube enclosing the driveshaft.

The engine was a 2.0-litre Volkswagen Group inline-four with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection. A four-speed manual was standard at first, a five-speed followed, and a three-speed automatic was optional. The 924 Turbo of 1980 to 1982 used an extensively revised, turbocharged version of the engine and is identified by a NACA duct in the bonnet.

The 944 replaced the 924 in the US for 1983. The model returned for 1987 and 1988 as the 924 S, using the 944’s Porsche-designed 2.5-litre four. US special editions included the Limited Edition of 1978, the Sebring Edition of 1979 and the Weissach Edition of 1981.
