Page "Porsche 924" Paragraph 1

The first official appearance of the 924 took place in November 1975 ( as a press launch rather than a motorshow appearance ) at the harbour at La Grande Motte, Camargue in the south of France.

The model was a success with just over 150, 000 produced ( from 1977-1988 ), and it not only helped to take Porsche out of financial ruin, but created the revenue stream needed to continue building and developing the 911.

The 924 was replaced by the 944 ( also a successful model ) in 1983 in the U. S. market, but continued to be produced until 1985 for other markets.
