Questions and Comments
Technik: Der weitgehend baugleiche Porsche 924 wurde ursprünglich von Porsche als Nachfolger des VW-Porsche 914 für Volkswagen entwickelt. Der Motor, das Getriebe und Teile des Fahrwerks vom Porsche 924 kamen daher aus dem Baukastensystem von Volkswagen. Volkswagen wollte das Modell nicht selbst auf den Markt bringen, so dass Porsche den Vertrieb des fertig entwickelten Autos allein übernahm und VW nur die Produktion. LG Tom
