š Porsche 924 Cutaway ā c. 1976ā1978 ā Original Poster by Porsche AG, Germany
Factory Technical Illustration for Porscheās First WaterāCooled, FrontāEngine Model
| Offset Lithograph | 76 Ć 102 cm | Germany
š¬ Introduction
A vivid factory cutaway of a green Porsche 924, this oversize poster reveals the modelās entire anatomy in crisp, airbrushed detail: the frontāmounted inlineāfour and radiator, torque tube to the rear transaxle, and the full suspension, steering, and braking systems are rendered with didactic clarity. The tan 2+2 cockpit, popāup headlamp linkages, and hatchback architecture sit against a neutral studio ground, anchored by a vertical āPorsche 924ā logotype. Palette and typography firmly place the piece in the lateā1970s launch era, when Porsche debuted its transaxle architecture.
⨠Why It Matters
The 924 marked a strategic pivot for Porscheāintroducing the frontāengine, rearātransaxle layout that would underpin the 944 and 968 and help stabilize the brandās finances. Dealer/showroom cutaways like this were technical showpieces as much as sales tools, explaining an unfamiliar drivetrain to buyers raised on rearāengine 911s. The green body with warm brown interior echoes period brochures and motorāshow displays, making this variant especially evocative. Collectors prize these for crossāinterest appealāPorsche history, technical illustration, and 1970s industrial designāand oversize originals in strong color are scarcer than later reprints or magazine foldouts, making them anchor pieces for any transaxleāera display.
