Porsche Museum Exhibits Transaxle Models

On the one hand, they are ideal sports cars, and on the another an aberration in Porsche history: the transaxle models. In 1976, Porsche introduced the transaxle powertrain configuration in the type 924 and embarked into new territory. The engine is mounted in front, but the transmission is at the rear axle. Between 1976 and 1995, Porsche built a generation of sports cars that deviated far from the established principles of the 911 — in the types 924, 928, 944 and 968.

On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of these models, the Porsche Museum is showing 23 examples of these cars in the framework of the special exhibition “The Transaxle Era. From the 924 to the 928.” Over half of these cars are being exhibited at the museum for the first time.The Museum in Stuttgart, Germany will present the exhibit from April 27 to October 16, 2016.
