Univers Porsche 924

By the looks of it, and by the way it handles, you would expect the Porsche 924 to be high-strung and demanding.

But it turns out to be one of the most practical of all sports cars.

Goes 500 highway miles on a single tankful.

The 924 is designed to cope with the energy crisis. It gets a surprising 31 miles per gallon on the highway (’77 EPA-estimated) and 17 mpg in the city, with standard transmission. Your actual mileage may vary according to where and how you drive, your car’s condition and optional equipment.

Has a carrying capacity of 18 cubic feet.

Thanks to pneumatic assists, the rear window/ hatch lifts up effortlessly, providing quick access to your belongings. For maximum space— an amazing 18 cubic feet— the rear deck folds down.
And for privacy, there is a built-in cover that conceals your luggage.

Handles with ease.

The 924 belongs to a new generation of Porsches that uses the transaxle system.
With the engine in front and transaxle in the rear, weight is almost perfectly balanced; handling is something you have to experience to believe.

Shifts for itself, if you wish. In recognition of traffic conditions today, and acknowledging those who prefer not to shift, this is the first Porsche ever to have a fully automatic transmission as optional equipment.

Costs less than you think to own and care for.

The 924 costs under $11,000.* And the engine was designed to make parts accessible and servicing easy, keeping repair bills to a minimum.

So, if you have to ask what it costs to own a Porsche, you may still be able to afforJ one.
