Finished in Diamond Silver Metallic and factory-equipped with the optional M471 sport suspension package, this 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo is a U.S. market car that was delivered to its first owner in Venice, Italy, through Porsche’s Tourist Delivery Program. It was purchased by the seller in 2020 and modified with an IFC Racing 924 Carrera GT-style body kit. The car also received a custom Bell intercooler, a 924 Turbo S2 intake plenum and manifold, a Norgren variable boost controller, ARP head studs, a cat-delete exhaust, new leather upholstery, a factory wood trim kit, a 944 rear spoiler, 928 Euro side markers, and 16” Fuchs wheels. This modified Carrera GT-style 924 Turbo is now being offered for auction out of Georgia with documentation dating back to the original owner’s purchase.
This 924 Turbo was refinished in its factory color of Diamond Silver Metallic in 2022 and fitted with an IFC Racing 924 Carrera GT-style body kit including fender flares, rocker panels, a hood scoop, and a front bumper cover. A replacement 944 hood was installed, and the driver’s side fender was modified to eliminate the radio antenna. Other modifications include a 944 rear spoiler, 928 Euro side markers, LED H4 headlights, a European-spec rear bumper, and red Carrera GT graphics. The car rides on 16” Fuchs wheels with vintage-style Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires measuring 225/50 in front and 245/45 at the rear. The seller notes the front driving lights are inoperable. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The black interior features a reupholstered leather dashboard and seats with custom deviated stitching. Accessories include factory wood trim on the instrument panel and center console, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, air conditioning, power windows, a sunroof, Porsche-branded floor mats, a Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 DAB Bluetooth stereo, and a boost control knob mounted to the right of the steering column. The instrument cluster has been modified with LED lights and Max Tow auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center console for boost pressure and air/fuel ratio readouts. The seller notes the gauge needles jump intermittently.
Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter EA831 inline-four engine paired with a 5-speed G31/01 manual transaxle. A top-end engine overhaul was performed in 2020, and the engine has been upgraded with a Cometic MLS-5 0.086″ head gasket, an ARP head stud kit, a custom Bell intercooler, a Norgren variable boost-control kit, an S2 intake plenum and manifold, and a cat-delete exhaust. The engine has also been serviced with a new water pump, coolant hoses, starter, and sensor bodies. The K26 turbocharger and intake manifold were repaired in September 2024 along with a new alternator, fuel accumulator, accessory belts, and vacuum hoses. The seller notes the exhaust manifold is cracked, and the tailpipe emits a puff of white smoke upon startup.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, original sales documents, service records, a spare tire and inflator, a toolkit, and a clean title.

Very cool and you can drive it as its a clone.
Welcome everyone to the auction of our Carrera GT Tribute. We have paid very close attention to every detail of this build to ensure it was an accurate representation of the original Carrera GT. Every cars and coffee I have attended, people cannot tell whether it is an original one of the 406 units produced for homologation purposes. Happy to answer any question you have about the car and the process we went through to build it.
