If you were Walter Röhrl and you have a Porsche 924 Carrera GTS as a gift for your 74th birthday, what would your reaction be? It depends on the execution. Was it kept a secret before the fateful day? “Walter Röhrl knows so many people here (in Porsche) that it was difficult to keep the project silent,” said Kuno Werner, head of the Porsche Museum workshop.
The car in question is a GTS rally of 924 Carrera. Based on the most expensive Porsche vehicle in 1981, the 924 Carrera model is a living proof of the Porsche motor sports campaign using the brand transaxle concept: four-cylinder engine at the front and a transacity (emirered transmission and rear) at the back.
This year, Walter Röhrl and co-producer Christian Geistdörfer commemorate the 40th anniversary of the successful Porsche 924 Carrera GTS campaign of the Porsche 924 at the Adac Metz Rally of 1981. The second place of second place, Röhrl and Geistdörfer have Also victorious in the rally of Hessen, the Rally Serengeti Safari, the anterior Palatinate Rally and the Baltic Rally, all in the same gold and the same “Monnet” Porsche 824 Carrera GTS.
After a stellar campaign at the gathering of spa curls in 1982 with Jacky ickx behind the steering wheel, La Porsche 924 GTS spent the rest of his days at the restoration of the Porsche Museum, waiting for the right moment. He now wears his original black and gold painting of the big producer of Cognac. Nevertheless, the restoration was more focused on the preservation of the original patina of the car until later detail.
For example, the faded red safety belt harnesses under the glass dome are the original components of Röhrl and the Geistdörfer Porsche Rallying. However, Porsche has taken the freedom to rebuild or reaffirm all the original repairable parts (such as engine, gearbox and brakes), but the Pirelli tires and racing clutches are correct.
Porsche went as a commissioning of the man who built the current car in 1981 to facilitate the restoration. Roland Kussmaul is an engineer, a rest driver and a rally driver who rendered the 924 Carrera GTS Rally in two months for the German Championship of 1981.
The Walter Röhrl Carrera GTS Rally Porsche 924 is the fifth of nine prototypes constructed and the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine does not have a serial number. Despite this, the engine has completed a rally season without succumbing to damage, and it always wears its original 10,371 kilometers on the odometer.
At the beginning of March of this year, Walter Röhrl got the Carrera ‘Monnet’ 924 GTS rally for its 74th anniversary. And what does a former rally driver doing when given a race car he once driving in Stardom forty years ago? He takes it for a turn and gives him the beans.
