Price: £0.00 - £69.99, Price: £80.00 and above | Porsche 924 S 1985-1988
Heavily reworked 924 with a more sophisticated engine. The Teledial wheel was fitted with a 195/65VR15 tyre.
Porsche has a history of working closely with tyre manufacturers to specify the best tyres for their cars, and these are commonly marked with a "N' number to indicate approved Porsche fitments (N0, N2, N3 etc).
Originally designed for VW, Porsche bought the design back in a clever move to expand their model range beyond 911 variants. Its sales success kept Porsche in business, and further development into the 944 and 968 mean the front-engined, water-cooled 4-cylinder range is a bigger part of the company's history than its branding would suggest.
The S model was a subtle means of keeping Porsche's model range diverse, as it was essentially the 944's engine and running gear in a 924 body. Power was slightly down on the 944, but drag was lower. It was only manufactured for a few years, until the 944 range diversified.
