Rare Rides: The Very Rare 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GTR

TTAC’s own Sajeev Mehta gets the credit for discovering today’s Rare Ride. It’s the most special version of the Porsche 924, and it’s for sale in his hometown in the tiny republic of Texas.

Rare Rides featured one of Porsche’s 924s a couple of years ago, with the Martini Championship Edition (a steal at $7,000). This 924 is much more obscure — and much more expensive. Is this one-of-17 car worth the cool $925,000 asking price?

  • Jonathan It's sad to see all these automakers trying to make an unnecessary rush to go all out electric. EVs should be a niche vehicle. Each automaker can make one or two in limited numbers but that should be it. The technology and infrastructure simply aren't there yet, nor is the demand. I think many of the countries (including the U.S.) that are currently on the electric band wagon will eventually see the light and quietly drop their goal of making everyone go all electric. It's simply not necessary or feasible.

A Hybrid, yes, an EV, No. And for those saying sure as a 2nd car, what if your needs change and you need to use it for long distance (i.e. hand down to a kid as a car for college - where you definitely won't be able to charge it easily)?
