924 Carrera GTS 2.0L 1982

In 1979, Porsche revealed a concept iteration of the 924 at the Frankfurt Auto Show, adorned with Carrera badges. Just a year later, in 1980, Porsche launched the 924 Carrera GT, signaling their intent to enter the 924 into racing competitions. Through the addition of an intercooler, a compression increase to 8.5:1, a suspension lowering, and various other tweaks, Porsche transformed the 924 Turbo into the desired race car, branding it the "924 Carrera GT".

Clubsport versions of the GTS were also available, generating 280 hp (209 kW; 284 PS) and equipped with a factory-
