1988 Porsche 924S “Le Mans” Special Edition

Porsche must be the king of obscure special models; it seems nearly every week there’s some limited edition model virtually no one has heard of comes up for sale, generally with some premium attached to the asking price because of their rarity. But while many of these limited edition cars didn’t make it to the United States, one that did was the special edition of the 924S. Sure, the 924S wasn’t the most popular car in the Porsche lineup and still isn’t, but it was a competent performer and sold reasonably well. 1988 saw the 924S bump up compression with a touch more horsepower, so if you’re in the market look for one of the already more rare to find 1988 editions. But if you want really rare, to celebrate its Le Mans victories Porsche launched a special edition of the 1988 model; dubbed the “924S SE” in the U.S. and “924S Le Mans” everywhere else, these were effectively 924S Club Sports:

1987 Porsche 924S

We’ve talked countless times about how many of the cars from the 1980s have recently undergone a pricing metamorphosis, taking what were once the entry-level mainstays of German automobile enthusiasts out of the reach of most mortals. This doesn’t really take the full picture into account, though – the reality is that there are still many cars that are very good, readily available and affordable. One of the best has to be the Porsche 924S. Overlooked by Porsche enthusiasts as too cheap to be a “true” Porsche, the crowd that enjoys the relative secrecy of the 1987 and 1988 Porsche 924S has enjoyed a true gem for the past few decades. Power, suspension and brakes are effectively the same as the fat-fendered 944, so if you can deal with the narrow body and wheels and older dashboard, you actually get a slightly quicker car in the 924S. Many were maintained well by their loving owners who were obviously proud of their foray into Porsche ownership leaving the next owner to enjoy the fruits of their labor. This 1987 Guards Red example sure looks the part:
