Breaking with the Past: The 924 Part 2

When you break with tradition, there will always be detractors. People will inevitably yearn for the past and pine for a simpler time. Porsche has done it in many instances, and it is what keeps them innovating. Looking toward the future without forgetting the past is a hallmark of what Porsche is about. When the 924 was introduced, there were cries of "not a pure Porsche" and "you put the engine where?" And don't even talk about the liquid-cooled motor. But through the noise and the doubters emerged a car that has become an important part of the family and according to an unknown author, "Families are like branches on a tree. We grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one." From the 356 to the 911 to the 924 and the Carrera GT, the root is all Porsche.
