924 GTS

Gorgeous. And, I'd guess, probably the single most expensive Porsche frontrunner/transaxle road car on the planet.
 
I have a good idea what its worth. This is unusual in that it has a fully trimmed interior. The original owner was a Porsche family friend, I believe. An original dry sump Club Sport will be worth a bit more, but this is my favourite GTS.
 
truly awesome car love all of it.

random plastic gts body colour badge below rear spoiler!?

 
Actually not random. If you search out a photograph of one of the dry-sump Club Sports, then youll see that the badge is a clever way of covering the oil tank filler.

This car is probably worth less due to its softcore trim and the 'eighties' black detail. Recaro lollipops always look terrible now though so this is smarter in every respect (apart from the wet sump).
 
I have been waiting to point out that as far as I know, in the modern era, at least since the 356, all Porsches have been transaxles, which simply means that the transmission, axle and differential are in the same housing hence the abbreviation Trans(mission) axle. However price wise yes probably the most expensive, with the 928 GTS probably coming a close second, and the 944Turbo cab/968 cab weighing in at a hefty circa £45,000 when new.
 
beautiful car but is the bottom of the drivers door out of line as the decal dont line up? unlike the pass side door and decal, which is perfect or maybe its my eyes,,,,

968 Turbo was around £75K new, not seen one for sale for a while but the 924 GTS will probably keep ahead for now.

Well you learn something new..... I didn't know they actually sold a 968 turbo.
 
Funny isnt it, the car thing, this is worth 100 grand yet 100 grand would buy a fair proportion of the rest of the remaining 924's of other types, well, I bet you could get fifty or more !
 
Great car - but you couldn't actually use it...unlike a CGT which is still relatively cheap in comparison

not many! they were built by the race department and they are a very rare car, I saw one on my first trackday back in about 2001 and haven't seen an original one since
 
Fantastic spec and provenance but i am not too keen on the black decals front, rear and side, i know it's factory but not my taste, would love to see it in the metal.

... which is why I said "frontrunner / transaxle", i.e. front engined rather than mid or rear.

I am prepared to be proved wrong but believe the current front-engined Panamera and Cayenne don't have their gearboxes at the back.
