Common questions
How much does a Porsche 924 Carrera GT cost?
A 1980 Porsche 924 Carrera GT cost $35,000 new. Across every sale we have on file, 5 have sold publicly at a median of $53,928. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $39,800. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $33,830 to $127,325, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1980 Porsche 924 Carrera GT worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $39,800. That sits below the $53,928 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence medium: 5 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.
Is a Porsche 924 Carrera GT a good investment?
It has appreciated 14% against its $35,000 list price. Only 406 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $12,250 to $140,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The 924 Carrera GT stands as Porsche's most extreme interpretation of their entry-level sports car, built purely for homologation purposes. With just 406 examples produced in 1980, this widebody warrior packed a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 210 horsepower—a massive jump over the standard 924's 125hp. The aggressive flared fenders, distinctive NACA ducts, and front air dam weren't just for show; they housed wider wheels and improved cooling for serious track work. Originally priced at $35,000—nearly double a base 924—the Carrera GT enabled Porsche's Group 4 racing ambitions while creating one of the rarest production 924s. Today, these homologation specials command serious collector attention, representing both Porsche's racing DNA and the transitional period before the 944's arrival. Clean examples are increasingly scarce, making the Carrera GT a compelling piece of Porsche motorsport history.
