    Only 3 pearl-white pre-prototypes of the 924 carrera gt have been built by r&d (forschungs- und entwicklungszentrum) porsche weissach.
    one of them, the 924 gt with the red interiour was shown at the frankfurt auto-show 1979 and is visible at the porsche museum stuttgart.
    one car was changed later on to a gts and the remaining car is my car. It is a Pre-Prototype based on Turbo Chassis-No. / Development car.
    it is not restored, not welded - only repainted some years ago. First owner: Porsche AG, entwicklungszentrum weissach.
    engine number: Gt1 / gearbox number: 001.
    also the test ports are originally existing.
    in year 1996 the magazine "classic cars" showed a report about this factory pre prototype/versuchswagen, also shown was this car in the book "the porsche 924 carrera" (2014)by roy p. Smith and in the magazine "Porsche f
    Fahrer" edition august 2022. Street legal authorized for Europe by original german fahrzeugbrief and also for UK by original V5 document.

    Amazing car. And from the photos it looks like you've used it properly (I see you're wearing a helmet in a few shots!).

    For those of us who likely will never be in a 924 Carrera - what is it like to drive?

    Very cool car. My brother has a 924 Carrera GT as well, although it's not as special as yours-- it is still very special, though.

    maaany thx for your comment - nono - i do not wear a helmet (only for slalom races by my Honda CRX)
    Yess - i use this 924 prototype for some drives during summer.
    It is amzing to drive - not like a Ferrari - the 50/50 front/rear weight is very good for fast curves - but you are alwas faster than
    expected - so it is recommended to have an eye on the speedometer to avoid any ticked by speed traps :)
