About the 1986 Porsche 924 S

The 924 S represents Porsche's successful evolution of their entry-level sports car, addressing the original 924's power deficit with a detuned version of the 944's 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder. Producing 160 horsepower compared to the base 924's anemic 125, the S variant finally gave the model the performance to match its Porsche badge. Built for just three years, it bridged the gap between the controversial early 924 and the more powerful 944, offering genuine sports car acceleration while maintaining the 924's excellent balance and handling characteristics. The 924 S featured improved brakes, suspension tuning, and distinctive exterior details including integrated fog lights and body-colored bumpers. Today, these represent excellent entry points into vintage Porsche ownership, offering 80s styling and genuine performance at accessible prices. Clean examples are increasingly sought after as collectors recognize the 924 S as the variant that finally delivered on the original's promise.
