The GTS Clubsport was in fact Porsches fastest car in 1981. And probably to this day the most extensively developed car in regards to differences between the basecar and the modified version. In fact very little is the same between the very rare Carrera GT and the uber rare GTS, and then this Clubsport! Dreams car indeed👌
I had the luck that I had a fatherly friend, who owned a 924 GTS Clubsport! So I got the experience to drive this car!Absolutly amazing experience! One of the ever perfoprfing car I ever drovbe except of the Audi RS8....
My pop had the sister car that ran the 81 LeMans I think the vin# was 924007. He had acquired the Spirit of Australia a 924gtr built for the Australian team in 81 or 82. The Aussies were not happy with the cars performance, so Porsche got the car and then they had decided to strip the engine and suspension and transaxle from the GTR that was the back up car for the Hugo Boss 924 that Rohl drove in 81 LeMans. Pop had a friend inform him about the original chassis that the mechanical components of the Australian car he had being at an acquaintances shop, and it was just sitting there going to waste. So pop contacted the guy and bought the chassis. I had the privilege of assisting pop with the restoration of reuniting the original chassis and the engine and other components that were stripped and assembled on the Aussies car. And it was completed to be presented in Monterrey in 1997 I believe. The event was highlighting Porsche that year in honor of Dr. Ferdinand's 100th birthday. The car was a hit and even got the door autographed by Rohl, who said the car looked just like it would have when he drove the car in 81. I know the engine was an experimental engine that was limited production. It was 2.0 liter and was fuel injection and turbocharged. The maximum hp was around 600. It had a torque shaft to a rear transaxle, which helped the performance with the weight distribution. The suspension had titanium parts. It was an impressive car once finished and it was loud when it started.
Röhrl drove a 944 (LM) with 2.5 engine and approx 410HP, there were 1 or 2 924 GTR's with 375 HP ( 1 driven by Schurthy, the other one by Almerasd and brother).....
Max Mark my pop had acquired one of the cars that was at the 1980 or 81 LeMans was a saga of two cars a BOSS and then the Australian car. The vin was like 944006 or something like that. That driver you mentioned was at the Monterrey SCCA event in 97 I believe
Hey, loved your delivery of this vid and the detail, made my Friday arvo beer whilst sitting in my garage. Such a fan of these cars. Got a 944 Turbo S, manual 928 S4 and 968 tip so super lucky. But the 2 models I dream about are the Carrera GT and a white 968 CS! Thanks again for going to the effort
There’s one that lives in surrey near wentworth golf club, it only ever comes out the garage to get MOT’d and serviced !! I never realised it was this rare
What a nice presentation 🤗 Great footage and professional presentation. Unfortunately there is a few facts presented which is not correct. The total amount if GTS's produced is 49 + 1 prototype. Production VIN number 1 to 10 was omitted. The line-up picture shows 49+1 cars. The matter of VIN numbers and production numbers is a little confusing because the VIN numbers ends on 59 and many people therefore think it was made 59 cars. Unfortunately this misunderstanding is repeated over and over on internet like a pandemic virus of misinformation until people think it's the truth🙄 Later in the 90's one GTS was construct from spares and parts by a factory employee (I think) and assigned production VIN number 1. This whole story can be confirmed by reading the Porsche Book of Juergen Barth and later book by John Smith. I also heard this story personally from mr Barth many years ago. The second misunderstanding is that the GTS is a derivative from the GT and just an upgrade of brakes and plastic lightweight parts. Its actually very little which is the same parts on those cars, but they share the same basic chassis and some electrical and interior components. The GTS is in fact a very different car than the GT. The doors are made of thin glassfibre on GTS ClubSport as well as the bonnet and front fenders front spoiler and rear bumper. The side windows and rear hatch window is Lexan. The ClubSport rollcage is a special alloy aluminum and approved by FIA for Group B homologation. All in all it's a fantastic car which not many people are aware about the story and existence.
My first car at 18 was a polo 4 rsty (9n3) 1.4 16v sportline. Now i m searching for a new one and i ve fallen in love with the 924 125hp. My budget is 12k€, do you think i can buy a good one with that money ? Is it a reliable car ?
Very cool. My first Porsche was a 924 Turbo. Loved it.
Thats Awesome!

I am a 924/944 guy I have owned a ton and have a 924s now,,I love the looks of the 911 but I think the 924/944 platform is all around better

運転したことあるけど、スピードはともかく運転感覚が良いバランスの良い車だよねー。これぞザ・ポルシェだよねえ、だが911のポルシェだよ実際は。
What a great video. Derek told me he still has his.
You get the pronunciation of the German makes all correct. People's names as well. Great episode!
Mmmm. Vertrrrieeeebsgeschlaft. Nailed it. Le Mawwww, too. So…. nailed the French as well.
Great commentary- highly appreciated!
A great explanation of the history of the 924
Great video. One of these is on Bring a Trailer right now.
I think this is the one on BAT.
My dream car
This car is plenty fast being turbo charged and light in weight. Fun facts! Nice!
This video is great, not only we can see a beautiful CS, we got a little bit of history too. 👏👏
I'd take that over a 944 for sure 👍, well that particular model anyway
There’s one on eBay I think. They are asking almost $300k
Almost bought one in the late 80s with my after school (hs) job money
great video
always think the 924/944 are the better 80's porsche
I know Derek Bell loves his.
Yep, sold mine in '89.....but not before I'd thrown the seats and hatch into a skip. I know, different times and I deeply regret it
What a nice presentation 🤗

I've personally never seen anyone at the gas station filling up their 924.
Its cause they get such good gas mileage
